Executive Summary

We are building an exciting destination for people to locate and keep up to date on their interests in Ecology, Environment & Human Rights. Being able to find what you are looking for in Environment, Ecology and Human Rights in one place is

• unprecedented. It Is a central place where anyone

can find and explore their passion to make a

• difference. EnviroNotice is a student initiative that

creates a sustainable research organization to publish, maintain and update our central calendar

• n the World Wide Web. The calendar contains a

comprehensive index of events, issues and activities of all existing ecology, environmental and human rights groups.

A Central Ecological & Environmental Calendar

EnviroNotice energizes the groups themselves by centralizing their information to be easily found by students and individuals who want to join in to explore their passion to make a difference. UEF Chapter structure creates a sustainable student organization to publish EnviroNotice into the future for the benefit of all. Find what you want easily by topic or area; from fracking to water shed clean ups, from nuclear to nature – you will find it here. The Human Rights Calendar Index follows the same process.

Student’s Food Rescue and Feeding the Hungry. . .

Food Rescue & UEF’s Student Hunger Initiative UEF consulted with the oldest food rescue

• rganization in the USA: Washtenaw Food
• Gatherers. Student success relies on using a

template approach to orchestrate the contact, collection and distribution of food, clothes and medical resources. UEF guides students, using a blueprint-template to identify, organize, gather and distribute resources to needy and hungry people. Many universities and schools have mandatory community service time as part of a student’s educational experience. This initiative can fulfill students community service time requirements.

A Sustainable Student Hunger Initiative.

Student operations locate food and medical resources on an ongoing basis. These are provided free to those in need in the

• community. This project is designed to be

easily replicated by students to aid those in need in nearby cities. In operation, students will pass the baton from semester to semesters to support this activity.

Note: The student hunger initiative is Inspired by and in memorial to “Mother” Charleszetta Waddles and her daughter, Ms. Audrey Ellis, who fed and is still feeding the hungry and needy around the Detroit region. Page 2

A Sustainable Focus and Mission . . .

EnviroNotice is about News and notices covering ecology, environment and human rights. Help us build our global/local calendar! What we are going to do is create this robust, self sustaining calendar. We are building a calendar that no other group has done, that doesn’t exist, that would organize all the groups and put them in a central calendar. Everyone benefits. Students work to collect details on all existing ecology / environmental “actors” to create a sustainable central calendar. It is composed of specific calendars from different locations locally and globally, putting it all in one place.

EnviroNotice is: Student-sourced, Peer-curated, Globally-distributed.

This is how you will be able to figure out there is something going on that you might want to jump in and be involved in. If you are someone who wants to make a difference and passionate about animals and their welfare, biodiversity, climate change, or human rights – or perhaps you want to be able to help respond to oil spills or floods, animal rescue or humanitarian disasters – you will love this. If you are really concerned about what’s going

• n and want to join in to make a difference -

EnviroNotice is for you.

EnviroNotice: “It’s the place you can find what you want to know.”

Mission Number One . . .

Our most pressing need is conducting a successful Campaign to fund work-study students to build and source data for EnviroNotice. We are launching a $1 million Capital Campaign to set up UEF student

• chapters. Our objective is establishing 9 regions

and 50 universities of participants. Each chapter employs 1 to 3 work study students, 20 hours a week for one year;– (3 semesters / 16 weeks each). UEF provides each chapter with all the student salary, guidance, support, network and production tools needed to join in EnviroNotice research and

• production. “Adobe Cloud for Teams” provides

students with all the needed digital tools and connections to UEF’s central network hub.

UEF Student University Chapters with Work-study

Work-study assignments tasks can include research, journalism, app design, digital production, grant writing and volunteer recruitment. At UEF’s chapter at UMich, students will assemble the digital and artificial intelligence aided process to gather the data other UEF Chapters will employ. Publishing the on-line calendar commences. EnviroNotice visitors will experience the unprecedented ease & power of staying informed

• n their interests in ecology environment and

human rights. Students will join in and follow their passion to support life. UEF Chapters aim to “pass the baton” semester to semester to sustain this activity for generations to come.

The Campaign Initiative Strategy . . .

UEF remains committed to secure funding to establish student work-study chapters at universities in each of the 9 participation regions (map). Student research includes ecological and human rights issues in their local community, school and region. Student-sourced, peer-curated EnviroNotice will make it easy to find all the groups, events and issues all in one location. It is the place to go to find out what you want to know. Using the central calendar will generate a positive experience finding your specific interests with options for joining in or getting alert notices about your interests.

Leader and Student Participation Goals

UEF is enlisting a special Capital Campaign Committee to secure the funding for this important project. We have a long way to go before we reach

• ur objectives. But you can make a difference

by joining in to help UEF empower students join in to create EnviroNotice’s sustainable calendar to make it easy for people to join in their passion to support biodiversity and life. Our fundraising will address all areas for the UEF student chapter’s costs during each

• semester. This is an important step which creates

the digital collection process (for the calendar) and central data base. Our process (and database) will scale up to accommodate more students, schools and universities, joining in. UEF’s Ultimate goal is multinational school participation.

Capital Campaign Leadership . . . And Community Support

We will be talking to potential donors from each philanthropic market to make our Campaign a

• success. The Capital Campaign will be

measured by the response from the community to our requests for support for the project. As UEF gets rolling, other grants and funding from sponsors will come in. In the past many

• rganizations like the Environmental Protection

Agency, Connecticut Light and Power, Utility Companies, individuals and foundations have made generous contributions and UEF will be reaching out to them and others for support. Leadership and preparation for a Capital Campaign are key ingredients to any successful Campaign strategy. We are working to recruit a number of outstanding, dedicated volunteers that will accept the challenge to achieve our goals and

• bjectives.

The funds we raise go to open UEF work-study chapters at multiple universities. All chapters contribute research and data to update and expand the calendar. Each UEF Committee Member will be assisting the Campaign by introducing this important project to the community.

Our Capital Campaign . . . Long Term Goals

Operations are built to scale up for full national student and school participation. In “Phase II” international UEF student chapters will join to participate in EnviroNotice and life supporting initiatives. UEF will monitor and support all aspects of the project to assure quality, veracity and timeliness of the data. Our total Capital Campaign has a long term goal of sustaining multinational university chapters and a global EnviroNotice into the foreseeable future. Public Awareness Campaigns include public education on ecology and other topics that affect them. After completion of initial funding to open the UEF Chapter at University of Michigan, EnviroNotice will go online. Other UEF chapters, beginning with Eastern Michigan University, will expand into all 9 North American regions. UEF’s Kick Starter crowd funding campaign for EnviroNotice is nearly ready. As student chapters commence operation, grants and student fund raiser activity also

• begins. We are planning a mobile app allowing

visitors to view the ecological planet like a weather map. It shows who is doing what and where made easy, like the weather underground app Storm does for global weather.
