Dear Charlene at SmartCoast,

Smart Coast sent out a notice on Friday for a special opportunity for
our
supporters to view a new documentary for free. Below is the directions
for
you to go online and view the DVD prior to its release for the general
public. Please take advantage of this offer.

Sprawling From Grace: The Consequences of Suburbanization

Watch Online For FREE!


In honor of Earth Day, in partnership with Cinema Libre Studio and
Grapeflix, we would like to offer you the opportunity to view David M.
Edwards' powerful new documentary, Sprawling From Grace: The
Consequences of
Suburbanization, online for free!

The film features Bill Clinton, former governor Michael Dukakis and
many
other leaders on the issues of suburban sprawl and the need for better
public transportation, centralized planning and renewable energy.


"Earth Day is a perfect time to reflect on the amazing place we live
in and
what is happening as a result of sprawl. Smart Coast has been creating
opportunities for balanced dialogue about smart development and how
other
communities have addressed their issues of sprawl and auto dependence.
We
encourage you to take the opportunity to watch this video free of
charge and
gauge our region as to its development practices. Are we losing what
we
have? Are we willing to make changes to improve our region? If you
like the
video and think that Smart Coast is helping the dialogue and the
change
occur, please take the time to donate and be a supporter."
Wendy Allen, Executive Director
