Dear friend of Kilowatt Ours,  

Thanks to your support and the thousands who have hosted screenings of Kilowatt Ours: A Plan to Re-Energize America, we have built up incredible momentum and interest in the film and its message of hope.

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Kilowatt Ours will be available for broadcast on public television stations nationwide this fall! This is an exciting time for us as we have a wonderful chance to share this message with an even larger audience.  Our goal is to inspire millions of Americans to conserve energy and choose renewable power, and we need your help.

Would you or your organization please take a few minutes to consider helping in the following ways?
o   Reach out to your local public television station.  Stations will make initial decisions about scheduling Kilowatt Ours locally in the next month. Please consider contacting the viewer services department at your local public television station to find out if they will be airing the film in your community. If the film is not currently scheduled, you can mention how a screening of the film has inspired you and others in your community to be more energy efficient and how it could inspire many more.  

o   Support our outreach efforts with a donation.  This is a crucial time in our effort to educate the nation on energy efficiency.  The public television broadcast will bring increased requests for community screenings, educational materials and energy savings advice.  Our new website, launching October 1, will be an exciting new resource for community interaction and energy savings information.  Your donations will support us in making this project a success.  Please consider making a donation on our website at http://www.KilowattOurs.org. To show our gratitude for your donation, we will list your organization on our website as a Kilowatt Ours contributor.

Thank you for your continued support of Kilowatt Ours!  It is because of your efforts that we are able to bring this message to a wider audience through this public television launch.  We will continue to be in touch with you as this important energy saving campaign unfolds, and we welcome you to contact us at screening@KilowattOurs.org.

Yours,
 
Jeff Barrie
Founder, Producer, and Director of Kilowatt Ours
