I challenge all entertainment companies, particularly those who entertain children, to take on the commitment of reducing your footprint on this planet so that all children, of every culture, of every region on this globe, as well as every species of nature, can have the opportunity to be fully alive, on a fully alive planet.

We are at a crossroads. In a free fall ,where the ground is rushing up fast. We can affect change, but we need to act now. Giving money is good, but being change in action, no matter how small,coupled with financial help, is the best. The United States is the largest consumer of resources. We are making enormous profits and doing the most damage. Surly we can reroute those profits to clean up the wreckage, address the climate crisis, and be a proper steward of the earth.

The very cultures that all entertainment derive their story structures from, from myths to petroglyph, consisted of people with a profound respect for nature and the earth. Are we using the gift of story solely to fuel the massive consumer machine with toys, product tie-ins, DVD packaging, unfair labor practices, etc. that over the long haul, hurts the very audience that we are entertaining ?( hence "A target Audience") Or are we contributing to the enjoyment of life in a sustainable way?

I am working towards a goal of producing quality entertainment with the least impact on the earth. The studio is powered on wind credits until the solar energy system is in place. The company car is hybrid, and we are members of one percent for the planet, committed to giving 1% of gross income to help effect change. These are small, for a small company. If large companies stepped up to the challenge, more progress could be made. Vote with your dollars, vote with your actions and make a difference.
