Now that we're wrapping up the confirmations for places and people to visit, the next step in project planning is to get some endorsements for our project! Having some well-respected and recognized names in the field of sustainability to publicly endorse our eco-video travel project would go far in gaining much-needed publicity and would help in trying to get sponsorships. One thing I've been trying to get across when I've been emailing with people to interview is that this project is very real and we're quite serious. This is no 3rd grade science fair project. It's worth their time and participation.
So while I'm free to dream big, I came up with a Top 10 list of people that I would love to get endorsements from:
1. Paul Hawken, author
2. Bill McKibben, author
3. Fred Krupp/Miriam Horn, authors of Earth, The Sequel
4. Steve Curwood, host of Living On Earth
5. Daryl Hannah, actress and activist
6. Al Gore, hmmm....
7. Ed Begley, host of Living With Ed
8. Bill Nye, arch-nemesis of Ed Begley
9. Orli Cotel, host of Sierra Club Radio
10. Jack Johnson, musician extraordinaire
These people must have many layers of people in between me and them, but it's worth a shot. We've been invited to be interviewed about our travel project on two podcasts coming up, and I haven't even really begun the publicity push yet. Enthusiastic responses and support all around, so why not shoot for the top? Wish us luck...
Be well,
Colin

And the first endorsement rolls in:
"Never doubt that one family with a lot of sweat and inspiration, and a highspeed internet connection, can change the world. These guys are doing it!"
