How to Boil a Frog Free Goodie Release - Inaugural Edition

 
And when you’re done, make up your own mind about the number one priority for Barack, and cruise on over to www.change.gov to put in your suggestion, or raise up the profile of someone who’s there ahead of you.
 
Our Essential Book o’ the Week, Kurt Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle”, is tied in to the week’s FrogBlog Entry, “Planet Diesel” – check it out at http://howtoboilafrog.com/frogblog.html.  Remember that each book has links to AbeBooks and Alibris, both great online sources for used books, as well as links to Amazon for those who want to buy new. See for yourself at http://www.howtoboilafrog.com/#books!
 
As for our Essential Movie – it’s another short freebie – The Big Ask. We dare you not to have your heart touched by this one, and it’s got laughs too!  It’s playing right now at http://www.howtoboilafrog.com/#movies.  
 
And as soon as you’re done, go to this link (http://www.copenhagenclimatecouncil.com/get-involved.html) and get involved, because 2009 is the turning point, for better or worse.  If the “men in suits” responsible for negotiating the Kyoto Protocol don’t come to an agreement this December on how to extend the process, then the carbon trading market in Europe will collapse and all their efforts will be for naught.  This is why George W and Stephen Harper (with some help from the fallen John Howard in Australia) have been delaying the Kyoto process for 8 long years.  Will you do nothing and let them succeed? Or will you click the link?
 
Our new Funny Web Short is called “Uncle Jay Wraps Up 2008” – loads of laughs, and you’ll end up feeling grateful that, whatever looms in 2009, at least we’re rid of 2008!  Bring it on! Check it out at http://www.howtoboilafrog.com/#webshorts!
 
Lastly, we’ve got two Essential Links for the teen demographic this week, so you may have to forward this email on to the ones you know.  For those in Canada, we’ve got the Youth Action Zone, and for those in the US, we’ve got The N network’s excellent “Guide To Green”.  Click now at http://www.howtoboilafrog.com/#links!
 
Don’t forget to read the FrogBlog, and – as always – be a Friend o’ the Frog and forward this email to at least one person who doesn’t know about it yet.  Our stealth campaign to invade the minds of the innocent depends on you!
 
Cheers,
 
Jon & all his friends at www.howtoboilafrog.com
