to use with the DVD of An Inconvenient Truth* Welcome and thank you for joining us in educating your family, friends and neighbors about the serious threat posed by Global Warming, and the powerful solutions that will lead to a healthier planet for our children and generations to come. If you are reading this, you have either seen this powerful movie ![]() or have been hearing about global warming and agree that critical changes must be made. ![]() We must make sure that our family, friends, and neighbors understand what is at stake and why we must act. The science presented in this movie, and the way the consequences have been detailed, are tremendous tools to share the story of Global Warming, the danger, and the potential solutions. The following In-Home Global Warming Grassroots Event was developed by The Earthman Project with many environmental organizations and educators including: Lanny Smith, The Earthman Project, George Cavros of Broward County Sierra Club, Roger Stephenson of Clean Air - Cool Planet, Barry Heimlich of the Broward County Audubon Society, and Kevin Carter, Aquatic Resource Professional, and a member of the South Florida Association of Environmental Professionals. We created this strategy as a tool for all of us to use. We believe a grassroots neighbor to neighbor strategy is essential to educate people and create change. Below is the overview of the In-Home Global Warming Grassroots Event. You can print out or download the plan by clicking the Options button at the top of this page on the right. The plan is a guide. Feel free to make changes to the approach and please provide feedback about your event in the community forum below.
