Fiscal responsibility is a guiding force in the administration of The Environmental Relief
CENTER (A 501(c)(3) Public Benefit Corporation). Accountability is assured through
reliable record keeping and systematic audits. Starting small and expanding as funding
permits, the Center has adopted conservative operating procedures to keep
expenditures minimal and overhead low in order to fulfill our organizational mission.

ECO-ENTERTAINMENT
The Environmental Relief Center is developing a special fund to sponsor environmental
AWARDS programs. Recognizable figures such as Henry David Thoreau, John Muir,
Jacques Cousteau, Rachel Carson, Cesar Chavez, David Brower, Martin Luther King, Ralph
Nader, Jane Goodall, Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, Al Gore, and numerous others, have
all made outstanding contributions to a new recognition of our endangered planet, our
dwindling resources, and mounting social inequities.
In this tradition, our Annual AWARDS program will honor a new generation of environmental
advocates who speak up for livable communities; who demonstrate against environmental
assaults upon public health and safety, and whose courageous protests are becoming the
environmental model for others to follow. Those who are interested in supporting this
long-term goal are encouraged to submit their proposals and/or suggestions, and to join our
round-table discussions regarding specific educational and entertainment formats for
grassroots advocacy. We believe that annual AWARDS programs publicly acknowledging a
new generation of environmental honorees, will inspire a greater respect for individual
commitment as well as for regulatory protections.

Environmental writers and scientists, who are little known outside of their professional
disciplines, will receive PUBLIC RECOGNITION AWARDS for their research into habitat
depletion, hemispheric pollution, toxic substances, and species extinction.
Unfamiliar names of authors, educators, and scientists, along with musicians, artists, poets
and documentary film-makers (whose themes have raised awareness of finite resources and
wide-spread ecological damage) will become well known through their messages of
environmental awareness. We believe a national program AWARDING the accomplishments
of today's environmental leaders will stimulate a new wave of grass-roots initiatives for
health and safety, as well as renewed efforts to conserve rapidly deteriorating natural areas.
An environmental AWARDS program promises to give future generations of grass-roots
conservationists new inspiration and confidence as courageous honorees provide
guidelines and inspiration for the leaders of tomorrow. If you are interested in helping with
the development of this innovative project, please contact us at the address below.
