IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom0The organization completed a revised version of its documentary film highlighting our culture's dependence on economic and population growth. This shorter version is more suitable for classroom use and is also more conducive to panel discussions following public screenings. This new version was released in November.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom1The organization maintained an active website, facebook page, Twitter presence and periodic email updates informing the public about cultural attitudes, public policies, and relevant news related to our culture's dependence on economic and population growth. Particular emphasis was given to pointing out the unsustainability of our pursuit of endless growth in the scale of the human enterprise. The organization's president also spoke at numerous public events, did several radio interviews, issued news releases and wrote several essays and blog posts on the topic. All this served to provide some balance to the preponderance of news reports and commentaries indicating perpetual growth is both possible and desirable.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom2The organization promoted and publicized the GrowthBusters documentary film and supported continued DVD sales and screenings, including screenings at 13 film festivals worldwide. Approximately 900 copies of the film were sold or given away. Over 100 community screenings took place. Estimated festival and community screening audience was in excess of 10,000. Over 1,000 DVDs were sold.
IRS990EZ/ProgramServiceAccomplishment/DescriptionProgramServiceAccom3The organization provided media relations, educational outreach and organizational consulting services to provide balance to the pro-industry perspective of the mainstream media. We assisted in providing information to the public about the risks inherent in hydraulic fracturing and other aspects of oil and gas exploration and production. This was done at a local, statewide (Colorado), national, and international level, and included production of informational videos shared on Youtube.
