GrowthBusters is very much alive – and needed now more than ever. Please remember this vital project in your year-end giving. Donate online, or send a check payable to GrowthBusters to 2930 Orion Drive, Colorado Springs, CO. 80906.

(Do not make checks out to Citizen-Powered Media; that nonprofit is history and our bank will not let us deposit those checks.)

NEW! Guerilla Billboard Project

DO try this at home! We’ve been experimenting with a new project to do “pop-up” billboards on the sides of buildings. These represent an opportunity to alert, educate and inspire the public without investing thousands of dollars renting actual billboards.

In January we’ll publish a video and how-to guide to inspire activists around the world to do their own. I hope you’ll consider organizing such an effort where you live. It will be fun! If you'd like to play an active role, join the Guerilla Billboards sub-group in our GrowthBusters online community.

Our GrowthBusters Campus Tour continues, in which we help university groups and classesbook brilliant speakers to share what they know about various aspects of ecological overshoot. Our most recent booking gave a college class at Dalhouse University in Nova Scotia access to Bill Rees, the father of ecological footprint analysis. Learn about the tour here, or reach out to me to organize a lecture.

You've waited long enough! I'm finally going to complete the GrowthBusters music video. The outstanding theme song from the GrowthBusters documentary just begs for a full-listen to all the lyrics and striking visuals to help make their point. Watch for the finished version in 2025.
