Some of the worst air polluters have dodged controls for decades, pumping dirty air that makes playing outside a dangerous game for kids across the U.S. Though 2011 brings unprecedented opportunities to clean up these polluters, only public pressure can counteract the polluter lobby's influence. A humorous video can help: in a dodgeball game between kids and pollution, large men dressed as mercury, soot, and other pollutants hurl dodgeballs labeled with diseases (e.g. asthma ) while kids counter with balls marked "health" and "clean air". The message: join the kids' team to ensure dirty industries don't dodge clean air rules again.

Eco Value - Non-Profit - www.ecovalue.org.in

"Zahelu - The Connection" is about telling the urban youth that they are part of the nature. Usually, nature to them is something that one does on a Sunday or on a vacation. I wish to make an online movie that connects people with nature; it tells them that they are a part of the nature. And, whether they like it or not, they interact with it, and it affects them directly.

For the movie to be effective, it needs to be made creatively and with passion. I know I need your help to make that difference.

For centuries the river system of Bangladesh have watered the fields, put fish on the table and acted as avenue of the in and outside the world. The importance of rivers, gives them a crucial place in the ecology of myth and religion of some groups. Now people are just competing with nature and destructing its as much as they can. The result is that there is a threat of traditional livelihoods and long term impacts on ecology and environment.

However, during 1990s government polices to accelerated the country's GNP, to create more employment. A large industrial zone called the export processing zone (E PZ) was set up at Savar near river Bangshi. This industrial zone along with other local industries began discharging all of their industrial waste into the river and other open water body, undermining the health environment and livelihoods of the people.

SELVA International has formed a diverse collaboration to create a unique project that communicates ecological facts through online media. The resource will be geared toward educators and the public. We have designed a game-like experience that leads users through a series of interactive stories teaching a basic fact: the environment is where WE live. This theme is explored through quest-like modules centered on core environmental issues. By forging their own path through realistic scenarios, users will learn/engage with the issues on a personal level. They will learn specific actions for positive change and how to share this knowledge with others.

Remineralize the Earth - Non-Profit - www.remineralize.org/

Our mission is to regenerate soils and forests and as a key strategy to sequester carbon and stabilize the climate through remineralization of soils with finely ground rock dust and sea minerals. One project we would like to duplicate is our Agroforestry project in Costa Rica designed by John Todd to provide food, fuel and income to sustain local communities. This website design grant would allow us to greatly improve our education and outreach through creating an Action Center to provide education materials to local activists, farmers and gardeners with the tools they need to network and initiate projects in their regions, to help us create multimedia on the website to reach the public from powerpoint presentations to youtubes to webinars, to provide the expertise which will help us to get funding to initiate projects worldwide.

Alice Ferguson Foundation - Non-Profit - trashfree.org

AFF's Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative seeks a Trash Free Potomac by 2013. A public education campaign is in-development to grab the attention of litterers and inspire them to change their behavior. Social marketing indicates that admitted litters of all ages and demographics respond to concerns about health, protecting their children, and cleanliness. Social marketing is essential to cost-effectively reaching the Potomac River Watershed's 6 million residents and important to the campaign's success, especially with teenage and young adult litters. The Initiative needs experts like Free Range to help create an anti-litter video capable of going viral.

Appalachian Voices - Non-Profit - www.AppalachianVoices.org

OpenSourceCoal.org is an online user-friendly compendium which seeks to tame bewildering and wildly scattered government coal data. How many tons of coal were surface-mined by Massey Energy in 1998? What are the annual CO2 emissions from power plants in NC? The data available on OpenSourceCoal.org offers a comprehensive view of the rising costs and declining production of coal.

We have the tool plus relationships with the public, media, and elected officials. Free Range can provide the means of keeping the data current and disseminating this important information, helping to create a clean energy future for Appalachia.

Eco Sierra Gorda Biosphere Reserve - Hybrid - www.carbonneutralplanet.org

Natural capital belongs to the countries and natural deficit is a by-product of the rich ones. It is the Global South who own and work the last healthy, high biodiversity areas that sustain life on Earth, they should be sacred. There is an alternative voluntary way to reduce CO2 involving rural South communities in high biodiversity areas and to share the burden of caring for Nature's values: wildlife, water, fresh air, climate regulation, carbon dioxide capture, landscape management, recreation services, and peace of mind. Help us transfer this know-how, recognize the people who maintain our Biosphere.

Green Café Network - Non-Profit - www.greencafenetwork.org

Over 50% of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis. After oil, coffee is the world’s second most traded commodity, and supports over 25 million producers worldwide, who often receive prices that are less than the costs of production. Our love for the bean brings massive environmental impacts from transportation and brewing processes along with innumerable tons of waste in the cafes that serve our morning brew. "The Story of Coffee will be a compelling online video that will wake up Americans to the impacts of the coffee industry and empower people to help change the outcome of coffee’s unsustainable path."

Wildlands Network - Non-Profit - www.wildlandsnetwork.org

We want a world without racism against animals -- predators, in particular. Myth, fear mongering and domination have led to the decimation of bears, cougars, and many other important species worldwide. Their disappearance is silently causing the collapse of habitats all around us. Few realize this signals our own demise. Predators are Nature's best managers. With a natural ability to maintain a balance between living things, they are our guardians, not enemies. An animated movie would call out the misguided human wildlife predator and inspire a new network of people to respect, protect and successfully live alongside predators.

RainScaping Campaign c/o Chesapeake Ecology Center - Non-Profit -www.RainScaping.org

The RainScaping Campaign encourages residents to practice rainscaping to improve the health of Anne Arundel County's tributaries and the Chesapeake Bay. We need assistance in developing and delivering the most impactful messages to encourage private property owners—who own most of the land—to reduce polluted runoff—a nationwide problem.

Requests from groups both within and outside of Anne Arundel County are continually increasing. RainScaping multi-media advertising and materials have been disseminated throughout the county, and beyond, including to visiting environmental professionals from several countries. We would like to expand the campaign with the assistance of Free Range Studios.

Irthlingz - Non-Profit - www.meltesedodo.com/meltesedodo/mp3/

"The Meltese Dodo" is a movie about an intrepid detective (The Earth) who discovers the truth about climate change through a series of encounters with "reliable sources", including molds, yeasts and bacteria.
"The Brontosaurus Song" occurs in the first scene, as The Earth reflects on the positive qualities of the human species ("imagination, love, poetry" the kind of species you'd hate to lose") and thinks back to another fun species, the brontosaurus.

Free Range would create an animation to go with "The Brontosaurus Song" which we would use to promote our project, end unhappiness and achieve world peace.
