If people are filled with a sense of gloom and doom and no longer can have fun, many, if not all of us, will burn out and tune out. But it's a tight-rope walk. We don't want to try so hard to have a feel-good message that we end up over-simplifying our eco problems and possible solutions.

Have you tried composting your poop and pee ? I haven't yet. I will spread the word about this site to get more people involved. Transition Pittsburgh sounds interesting, as does the 3 Rivers Bioneers event. I may end up making previewing events a key part of my work as a reporter. How about cold showers?

Your "donate" section of the website states that donations made by credit card to the film are NOT tax deductible, but on your little youtube film you say they are..... can you clarify this, please? I'd like to take advantage of the tax deduction if possible, although I hope to donate either way. Thanks and warmest good wishes!
