Reminder: TONIGHT's THE NIGHT -- on PBS, Bill Moyers' Earth on Edge

[Guest guest]

(Will be on PBS on Tuesday, June 19, 2001 at 8 pm in the SF Bay Area

(check local listings).

Message from World Resources Institute, originally dated 5/30:)

--------

Good afternoon. I want to share with you some information about an upcoming

television broadcast that my organization, the World Resources Institute, is

collaborating on with acclaimed journalist Bill Moyers. I also want to seek

your assistance in helping to spread the word about this powerful and

inspiring environmental program and related educational websites.

Bill Moyers Reports: Earth on Edge is the latest in a series of Moyers'

broadcasts with an environmental focus. It will showcase new data depicting

the scale of human impact on the planet's life-support systems and explore

one of the most important questions of the new century: What is happening to

Earth's capacity to support nature and civilization? The film brings to

life many of the findings in WRI's report " World Resources 2000-2001:

People and Ecosystems: The Fraying Web of Life. "

The two-hour broadcast will premiere across the nation on PBS on Tuesday,

June 19, 2001 at 8pm (check local listings).

The broadcast will be augmented by an extensive educational website

providing in-depth information about ecosystems as well as updates on their

status and information about how concerned citizens can take action. The

website, www.pbs.org/earthonedge, will debut on June 12. A preview site is

up now.

In addition, WRI will be launching EarthTrends, an informational portal to

give free, global access to the vast amount of case histories, maps, and

other scientific information from " World Resources 2000-2001. "

EarthTrends will make key information accessible and useful to those who

influence environmental policy - in governments, in international

organizations, in academia, in corporations, and in think tanks and other

civil society organizations. EarthTrends will also be available to

educators, students, and the public at large to fill their information needs

and satisfy their curiosity.

Features on this portal will include a section on environmental conditions

and trends: 1) overviews and short pieces for users who want interpretative

assistance to accompany their data analysis; 2) more detailed

interpretation of select trends and data sets. EarthTrends will be an

ongoing component of WRI's website and will continue far beyond the

broadcast. Earthtrends.wri.org will debut on June 12.

We believe this broadcast is a great opportunity for all of us who are

concerned about the rapidly deteriorating global environment to help

reinvigorate a national recommitment to these issues. That is why I am

seeking your assistance. Specifically, I would like you to consider

distributing some information about the broadcast to your members and

friends, through your newsletters, listserves, and on your websites. I

would be delighted to talk with you in more detail about this.

Sincerely,

Rich Barnett
