- HOW TO USE THESE PROGRAMS:
- -------------------------
- The videos and films in this catalog were created to provide
- information important to our planet's future--and inspiration to
- take an active part in ensuring that future. We encourage you to
- make the best possible use of these programs. Here are some of
- the ways that thousands of others have successfully used them:
-
- *Organize "video houseparties" to educate friends and neigh-
- bors or recrit new supporters for your group. They're easy to do
- and can be fun! (See the "Houseparty How-to" guide above...)
-
- *Conduct an outreach campaign to community groups, churches,
- or local schools. Train supporters to present selected videos
- and lead discussions.
-
- *Show these programs at your own church, synagogue, or other
- groups to which you may belong.
-
- *Encourage local video stores or your local library to pur-
- chase programs from us so they are available to many more people.
- Your local schools should also have them. We'll be happy to send
- along catalogs.
-
- *Encourage local PBS or cable channels to air these programs.
- Contact us to assure the necessary rights. Not all programs are
- available, and some require a broadcast or rental fee. (See the
- "Getting on local T.V. guide above.)
-
- *Use these vedeos in classes to complement lectures or study.
- (Videos must be purchased or rented at the institutional price
- for this purpose.)
-
- *Loan the programs to friends and co-workers, as you would a
- good book or an important article--or give them as gifts.
