>Dear Heart LEADers
>
>We are writing to you to make a special appeal for your help. You will be
>well aware of the growing impacts of environmental challenges such as the
>global water crisis and climate change. OzGREEN is a leading provider of
>sustainability education programs and has been empowering people to make
>significant changes for the past 15 years. We need your help to enable us 
>to
>grow.
>
>Fifteen years ago Col and I quit our jobs as teachers and sold our home to
>set up OzGREEN. We did this because we had inner alarms ringing about the
>threats to life on Earth  especially the global water crisis. We did this
>because we could see the problems and we knew we could make a difference. 
>We
>did this because of our deep concern for our kids, ourselves and the future
>of life on this planet.
>
>Today OzGREEN is working nationally in Australia and internationally in
>India, East Timor, Papua New Guinea and Pakistan (see www.ozgreen.org.au).
>We have involved hundreds of schools, businesses and communities in our
>transformational learning and leadership programs for sustainability. Our
>programs are recognized as leading edge (eg Australian Association for
>Environmental Education Case Study of Youth LEAD 2006). We are working on
>the ground in climate and water hot spots like the Murray-Darling Basin, 
>the
>Ganges River Basin and Australia¹s capital cities.
>
>You may share our deepening sense of alarm about the growing ecological and
>social challenges before us:
>·       Climate change  melting glaciers and ice-caps; rising sea levels;
>increasing severity and frequency of wild storms, drought and floods
>·       Peak Oil  we can no longer rely on this cheap energy source
>·       Peak Food  food reserves at historic lows
>·       Global Water Crisis  2.3 billion do not have safe reliable water
>supplies
>·       Biodiversity Loss in complex ecosystems that we do not fully
>understand
>
>The biggest threats we face right now are not just these issues but also 
>our
>response to them. Our challenge is to move through overwhelm so we can take
>on these challenges from a place of deep courage and fierce hope. Working
>through this sense of overwhelm into positive engaged action is the whole
>reason we set up OzGREEN. OzGREEN¹s strength is enabling people to find
>their best, to find what it is they can bring. We have a great range of
>programs and a proven track record.
>
>OzGREEN¹s innovative programs harness the creativity and intelligence of
>people to build pathways to a sustainable future. Our programs are based on
>a three-part methodology that enables informed participation, harnesses
>unique contributions and provides ongoing support through long-term
>engagement.
>The need for OzGREEN services is rapidly escalating. The key challenge is 
>to
>build a sustainable funding base to enable us to expand the reach and 
>impact
>of OzGREEN programs. We have a plan to do exactly this. And we need your
>involvement more than ever.
>
>How can you help?
>1. Make a tax deductible donation.
>2. Volunteer to help (office and skilled volunteers needed).
>3. Introduce OzGREEN to your friends, family and colleagues.
>4. Get involved in upcoming programs  or get your business, school,

>sporting club involved.
>
>Please find attached an update of OzGREEN activities and successes for the
>past 12 months as an indication of what we will be able to achieve with 
>your
>support. Thank you for your kind assistance.
