After much deliberation, we decided to put our talent and energies behind one of the most vital issues facing the entire world today: global warming.
We're pleased to announce this year's recipient is the Global Footprint Network. Launched in 2003, the Network aims to make ecological limits central the decisions made by governments, businesses, households and individuals worldwide. To accomplish this goal, the Network is advancing the scientific rigor and practical use of an Ecological Footprint calculator, a tool that quantifies humanity's demands on the planet and compares them to the Earth's capacity to meet these demands.
Free Range is excited to contribute online strategy and web design services to ensure the Eco Footprint tool is designed effectively and distributed as widely and strategically as possible. Ultimately, we look forward to seeing the positive change this tool incites.
Earlier this year, we attended the D.C. premiere of Al Gore's film, "An Inconvenient Truth" and watched Gore walk through his incredibly instructive and revealing presentation on global warming. As he outlined evidence of the unnatural spike in our planet's temperature and the existing and potential ramifications of this ominous change, we pledged that Free Range would respond to the moral imperative facing us and tackle this issue with all of the ingenuity we could offer.
We believe that our partnership with Global Footprint Network allows us to take one step toward fulfilling this commitment.
Again, many thanks to all of our applicants. As always, we continue to be inspired by all of the amazing work you do to improve our world.
Love,
The Free Range Gang
