Dear friends of peace,

Thank you to all that participated in our peaceful initiative with regards to Maria Daines and Paul Killington's next animal rescue cd, Shelter Me.

Below is our official letter in conclusion of this effort.

Thank you all for your great support, friendship and community spirit.

Peace,

Paul D. Richmond, Greg Allen, and the team of, KEEP THE GREEN ALIVE !!!!

Midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009

Dear Maria, Paul, and all that have participated in this peaceful initiative to aid in saving lives through the music of Maria Daines and Paul Killington and their next animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.

We want to extend our deep gratitude to each and every one of you that participated through leaving comments and sharing this initiative with your communities.

Our goal at the team of Keep The Green Alive was to bring people together in a positive common cause with the hope that 1,000 different people would leave 1,000 comments so we could donate the full $1,000.00 Cdn. Funds to Maria and Paul on your behalf toward the first 500 pressings of their CD, Shelter Me.

At this time, midnight eastern standard time, January 31 2009, there are 409 individuals that have shown the power of community through standing up and being counted in for the long haul. The demonstration of this community has humbled us with your amazing participation and comments. Whether it was a word or two, a sentence, or even a paragraph written here, the feeling of hope and encouragement reined supreme and still does!

The theme of hope is what we are all striving towards in wanting to have a better future for us all, humans, animals, sea life and plant life alike. Some comments here specifically resonate with a hope that Maria and Paul will reach their goal in this worthy cause.

In my discussions with Greg Allen about the awarding of the donations in kind, we are happy to be able to give Maria and Paul $409.00 Canadian funds toward their CD. However, we also decided, that due to the amazing show of community support here, we will be awarding the full $1,000.00 Canadian funds to Maria and Paul with honour and pleasure.

On behalf of Paul Richmond, Greg Allen, the team of Keep The Green Alive, and, the 409 participants in creating the gift of giving through leaving comments on the Peace Wins The Election video, we are very happy to be able to give Maria Daines and Paul Killington $1,000.00 Canadian funds to put towards the pressing and release of the first 500 copies of your animal welfare CD, Shelter Me.

Thank you all for your absolutely amazing support and community spirit. We remain your friends, Paul D. Richmond, Greg Allen and the team of, Keep The Green Alive !!!!

P.S. If you have ever wondered whom the team of Keep The Green Alive is, well, its all of us peace

11 part audio interview between Paul D. Richmond and Greg Allen on many topics regarding our environment and human evolution toward self sustainability.

Originally released on October 1 2005.


Dear friends,

The first 7 parts of the interview were conducted in the Haliburton Highlands, Ontario, Canada. The last four parts of the interview, parts 8 to 11 were conducted on Amherst Island, on Lake Ontario, Canada.

All the conversations between Paul D. Richmond and Greg Allen took place in the great outdoors. Parts 1 through 7 were recorded on September 10, 2005. Parts 8 through 11 were recorded on October 9, 2005.

Luckily, we have had the good fortune of having this interview edited and mastered by Steven West. Steven graciously donated not only his time, but also his meaningful and important music to this interview. Special thanks to Steven West for all his hard work. This project would not have been possible without Steven's dedication and generousity.

The purpose of the interview is to educate, and hopefully motivate people to make the changes necessary to preserve our planet for future generations through accepting and executing practical methods of personal self sustainability in their own living environments.

Our hope is to give this information freely and openly to create the vast community that is required to initiate the changes we all need to ensure the survival of the greatest gift to mankind, planet Earth.

We hope you find this an informative and engaging interview that provides food for thought.

Best regards ...
