Dear Friends --
Acterra is a SF Peninsula organization with a great program -- and you can help take it to a larger scale.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is giving away $200K innovative programs that fight climate change. Acterra needs people to "vote" for its innovative ACTerraGreen program that helps people save energy.
ACTerraGreen works with members of a group (like a PTA, faith group or workplace), providing them with short, easy "green" challenges during a six-month campaign. To address "Winter Heat," for example, they receive tips on using their thermostats, dressing up their windows to retain heat, installing weatherstripping, etc. At the end of the month, they get a short anonymous on-line survey to check off what they did -- and the group's total energy savings are reported back to everyone.
Over the past two years, Acterra has worked with 3 school/parent groups, 6 churches/synagogues, one neighborhood, and most recently, 2 businesses, to provide this program to their members. Acterra has also written a program manual and comprehensive website materials to help others start the program for themselves, and we are ready to take this to a larger audience. Having $200K would make it possible to grow this program to an appropriate scale.
Please click onto the site below, and hit the "Support it" button for ACTerraGreen. You can add a comment if you like, as well.

Thank you VERY much for doing this. The deadline is March 21, so please click and spread it around to your friends, too!
In this economic climate, you can imagine how hard it is for non-profits to raise money, so we are trying this creative new approach -- please help:
