I need your help for a guerrilla campaign to get Cold Cash, Cool Climate on the New Earth Archive book list for 2012
The New Earth Archive opened voting for the most “powerful and influential books on topics like climate change, sociology, economics, politics, technology, philosophy, and many, many other areas.” They are asking for “help in choosing the 25 that have the power to inspire college readers to change the world,” based on the criteria listed below.
I need your help to get Cold Cash, Cool Climate: Science-based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs on this list, since it is so new they didn’t list it on their default choices. That means you’ll need to add it under “your personal recommendation” at the bottom right. You’ll need to vote for between 10 and 15 books (they won’t let you submit less than 10) and you’ll need to supply your name and email address
I suggested you paste in the following text: Cold Cash, Cool Climate: Science-based Advice for Ecological Entrepreneurs, by Jonathan Koomey
Many thanks for your help!
Jon
The criteria to be used to judge the books are below:
“The books that comprise this archive should educate and empower students to work towards improving the world around them, and should inspire open-mindedness and acceptance of new, more beneficial ideas and lifestlyes. For this goal to be succesful, the books that populate this collection should be:
1. Books that college students will actively want to read: they have to be informative and passionate enough to capture and then hold students’ attention.
2. Powerful enough to change the reader’s mind about these issues, encourage new perspectives, and promote acceptance of alternate or controversial ideas.
3. Provocative and motivational: they have to genuinely drive readers to want to change the world.
4. Inspiring and positive, and offer solutions that encourage pursuit of holistic and truly fulfilling lifestyles.
5. Recent (within the past 10-15 years) and still relevant to our world’s rapidly changing conditions.
6. Decades-big ideas with a worldwide scope: topics that span the environment, economics, people, politics, and revelations in understanding human nature.
