Paul has a plot for Earth Day. From a monthly-ish email a short while ago:

I think (IMAAOO) if 100 million people read my better world book, most global problems would be solved.  So I am trying to develop an evil plot to get more books into more brains. Earth day is my best bet because my stuff seems the least crazy on earth day :).

First, a free copy of the whole book, today, for you.  If you go to youtube and find my brand new carbon footprint video, it will have instructions in the video to get the ebook for free.

Here is what I have so far, for my evil plot:

- Get you a copy of the ebook
- You read it and think "yes! this will work!"
- You buy a dozen physical copies of the book
- give them to people

If a thousand people do this, then, world domination!

Next, I dropped the price a bunch on a dozen of the physical books. Get a dozen, with US shipping for $65.

Maybe it helps to take a look at our thread "How does a shy person give away 12 copies of the book"

Maybe you can have some ideas to to add to this thread?

And here is a thread to plot and scheme about world domination 2024

I know some of you have already bought a box full of books, what's your plan for Earth Day? Or did you maybe already give them out? :)

I have given the BWB away in little free libraries here, mailed one to a User I corresponded with via SnailMail, and also gave one to our local library, where it is catalogued and on the shelves. It's been checked out several times!
