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. 


Please contact us if you need any assistance!
