Support Ecocity Builders

Greetings!
Since its inception in 1992, Ecocity Builders has been working tirelessly to
help
guide and support humanity's transition into the Ecozoic Era - an era that
refers
to a vision, first promoted by cosmologist Thomas Berry, of an emerging epoch
when
humanity lives in a mutually enriching relationship with the larger community
of
life on Earth.
In years past, we were often called "before our time" and "visionary." But
time
has now caught up to our core ideas for reshaping cities, towns and villages
for
the long-term health of human and natural systems. Global climate change,
species
extinctions, an urban explosion in critical areas around the world and an
awareness
that we must act now if we want to leave a viable future to our children has
prompted
an acceleration in requests for our services, both locally and internationally.
For a small organization, the meaningful, high-quality impact we consistently
provide and facilitate always impresses our supporters and associates. We
attribute
it to the power of the ideas and to the considerable personal commitment on the
part of our team: our staff, interns and associates, and, very importantly,
to
the generous support from our members and financial supporters.
We consider you a critical part of the Ecocity Builders team.
Margaret Mead said, "Never underestimate the power of a small group of people
to
change the world. In fact, it is the only way it ever has." As a member or
supporter
of Ecocity Builders, you are joining a dedicated group of people who are
determined
to change the world. With a clear mission and our task at hand, we are
attempting
to do the work we are called upon to do.
As 2011 comes to a close, I'm asking you to pledge your support for Ecocity
Builders'
team in 2012. Become a member or renew your membership for 2012,

or make a generous end-of-year donation.

It will be my pleasure to keep you updated with regular progress reports in
2012
as we ramp up the International Ecocity Framework and Standards Initiative,
wrap
up two books by Richard Register, continue to develop deep urban greening
projects
and local initiatives in the San Francisco Bay Area; and build an International
Ecocity Network linking local government leaders and community decision makers
around the world
Take action today to support the team! All end of year donations, subscriptions
and membership dues are tax deductible. Let's help make 2012 the year when the
paradigm
truly starts shifting from gray to green - for all inhabitants of this beautiful
planet.
With deep appreciation and hope,
Kirstin Miller
