TODAY SHOW Video
We were thrilled by our TODAY SHOW experience and the chance to tell MILLIONS about our simple, yet powerful project! It is truly special to see how a dedicated group of kids can make this world a better place. Thank you so much Ann Curry!!
500 people an hour are visiting this blog since our interview four hours ago! We’re hopeful that many schools (or even colleges! or churches! or scout troops! or soccer teams! or book clubs! or … any group really) will be inspired to join this simple tree, water, energy, and climate saving contest. It could be an engaging, educational Earth ‘Day’ event for March or April, if you’re looking for one.
Referring to this friendly contest, Ann Curry ended by saying, The TODAY SHOW “may just pick the school that wins that Challenge AND PUT THEM ON TV!” Perhaps this will be your group?! And if not…we all win together, anyway.
Ted and Students,
Way to go!! You inspired tens of thousands of people to do the right thing this morning. We are really proud of you!!
We launched Catalog Choice at The Overbrook Foundation about two years ago. But you all are making it real. We look forward to learning about your future efforts.
Best,

Dear PARTICIPANTS and their FANS:
Imagine the profound appreciation of the mail processors and deliverers!
This makes those of us who feel overwhelmed by trying to swim upstream, against the powerful tide of ignorance/indifference, so filled with optimism that we can make a dramatic difference in simple changes.
Hooray, and thanks, to our brilliant heros! You are great!

Oh yeah!!! After seeing you on the Today Show this morning I’ve taken your story to our own middle school sustainability committee here in upcountry Maui. I have at least 10 catalogs to cancel myself. Mahalo for making it such a simple and obvious choice! I can’t wait for our school to join the effort!
Great show. Inspiring to older folks who do not know how to stop the catalogues we do not want. The fact that fourth graders can do it means we should follow their lead. It is their world to save. And they are doing it. And we need to respect their leadership on this issue.
Thanks Dad!! - Ted
Awesome job Ted and Students of Park School!
It’s exciting to see what can happen when we all work together!
Looking forward to joining you in this effort!
