(download)

This is the audio clip that we used to promote the Earthcast project back in 2008. Youth and adults from around the world submitted short little audio clips and Jason Robershaw mixed them together to create this audio clip.  Jason then added this audio clip to the video that he created and posted the finished PSA at YouTube: 

The Earthbridges Community and the Earthcast 2010 Team is looking for help creating similar promo and PSA pieces for this year's Earthcast. Contact us if you are interested!
