Honoring the Earth

SolTerra Communications® is devoted to bringing about a better world. Here's a sample of our contribution.

Renewable Energy Purchases - Since September 2004,SolTerra Communications has been poweredby the wind and other sources of "green" energy. In 2007 we switched our renewable energy purchases to TerraPass. Thanks to TerraPass, SolTerra Communications has been able to balance out our carbon footprint produced while creating our videos, websites and music! We've also neutralized the carbon released by the cars we drive in the course of our work.

Using TerraPass to help reduce our part of the climate crisis was simple and affordable. We encourage everyone to take a look at how easy it is to be carbon neutral. http://terrapass.com/

Filmmakers For Conservation - To help foster environmental filmmaking, SolTerra is a member of Filmmakers For Conservation. Please visit the organization's web page for more information.

Giant Peace Dove Initiative - When SolTerra cofounder Bob Cornett asked Jane Goodall "what can I do to help the environment "she simply responded with "you need to do something big for your community." Bob obliged and created Sunny, the world's largest bicycling puppet. This puppet is used as a focal point to get students excited about helping the environment and their community. Bob, having completed the task, came back to Jane Goodall with his wife Kelly and puppeteer friend Matthew Hoffman and asked her "now what do we do?" Jane responded by asking them to create a flock of giant puppet peace doves that will cover the world; enough to be seen by satellite. Bob, Kelly, and Matthew were up to the challenge and made Jane's vision come to fruition. To help spread Jane's message of peace, SolTerra created a web page for this effort during the first two years of this program. Visit giantpeacedoves.org to learn more.

Donation of video to Northwoods Wildlife Center - The Northwoods Wildlife Center in northern Wisconsin, now the subject of our developing TV series, Northwoods Rescue, has an important message of how to live with wild creatures. SolTerra Productions donated hours of time to develop, film, and edit Our Wild Neighbors. Today this video is used to educate new landowners about how to appropriately resolve issues when people and animals are at odds.
