Hi everyone,

I am going to give away my BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CAR and BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE instructional DVDs.

Here's the only catch - you have to be a TEACHER.

Just today, I finished reading THE GOOD FOOD REVOLUTION, by Milwaukee's own Will Allen. His book is his biography and all about his urban farming system, but it's also about the greater good that he's done, and how that work has had a positive influence on so many people's lives.

At a number of events, I have often given away copies of my electric vehicle instructional DVDs to middle-school and high-school teachers. Knowing how little they earn, and how getting a reimbursement from the school is such a pain, I'd simple donate a copy, hoping that it might start a seed at that school for some sort of clean transportation extra-curricular.

For some time, I've thought that if I really wanted to get big with it, maybe just GIVING away copies to school teachers by mail order might be the best way to get a lot of information and inspiration out there fast.

Inspired by Mr. Allen's hard work and positive influence, I decided that I want to GIVE AWAY 100 COPIES of these instructional DVDs.

So here's the deal. Write me with your name and your school's mailing address and let me know if you want the Car video or the Motorcycle video (or both). I'll mail it out to you at absolutely no cost what-so-ever.

Please let me know if something comes from it. If your school builds an electric car, at least partly because of your video, please tell me, and send some photos.

I'll be doing this all at my own expense. Even though I actually burn, print, and mail the DVDs myself, there is a certain amount of cost for the materials, cases, packaging, and shipping. So, if there is anyone with a little bit of money, and wants to sponsor a school, you can donate to the project in any amount. A DVD costs over $5 for the materials and shipping. If you donate $5, one school could be on the start of a student electric car program. If you can afford to donate more, please do!

Sponsors and well-wishers can please donate HERE.

To "place an order" for a DVD, visit Give-away for Teachers and put your name, school name, and address, and which DVD you want in the comments.
