40 Year History Highlights for THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION GROUP 501 C-3 Foundation Since 1972

Our Environmental Education Group (EEG) has a historical, successful 40 year track record raising funding for educational, community and world helping projects. Our non-profit organization EEG was established to raise awareness of our worlds’, as well as our communities’ environmental pressures and problems. We are, and always have been, seeking solutions that support our sustainable economic development, and the evolvement of our business, social, environmental, and personal responsibility issues. Our track record shows clearly our consistent ability to secure funding for projects that are good for communities and good for the world. Our track record also shows our deep commitment to developing those projects responsibly, with our eyes on the long-term harmony of our communities and our world. EEG continues to seek out opportunities that enable us to further set up more long-term projects to raise awareness and help bring about a deeper sense of harmony on our planet and in our communities.

SUMMARY: One of EEG’s pioneering missions with its Green2Gold Environmental Entrepreneurship Program was to educate and facilitate cities and nations to create Green2Gold mixed tech, mixed use, community based nonprofit, incubators/accelerators to foster environmental entrepreneurship, invention, innovation and renewable energy development. Green2Gold’s mission expanded on this premise to include the incubation, education, and mentorship of public benefit, socially and environmentally responsible non-profit organizations, and in the most recent two years, including social venture organizations and public benefit corporations. In addition, in this charter, Green2Gold has assisted the members it has obtained in bringing their ideas, technologies and services to commercialization via educational workshops, seminars, showcasing events, conferences, and expositions, as well as, educational training, and tutoring.

RESULTS: To date, forty four (44) Green2Gold related incubator projects are in various stages of development in the United States and overseas. Initially, these projects were carried out through international travels, presentations and workshops, to help facilitate and bring resources to the communities that were interested in this program. More than thirty (30) public benefit non-profits have been founded and/or assisted through the Green2Gold/EEG programs. A number of non-profits and social ventures are umbrellaed under the 501-C3, EEG exempt status to assist them in receiving non-profit donations, grants, gifts, and in kind that are tax deductible to the donors and the sponsoring/granting institutions. An example of our success of the Green2Gold processes have included Continental Wind Power, that expects to employ one thousand(1000) in our region and create significant medium scale renewable energy electric power for communities, agriculture, school districts, military installations and universities and colleges. A list of companies and Non profits that we have assisted can be made available upon request.

John Palmer, Board Member for CSEC John Palmer graduated from the University of Southern California, with an MBA in Finance and Economics and post-graduate work in Education Administration. Mr. Palmer was a Program Coordinator for Space Camp and member of the Naval Institute. Mr. Palmer went on to open ‘University Systems’ to design, program and market the first financial aid calculator for universities and colleges. Mr. Palmer then formed WonderWorks Entertainment with a partner. At WonderWorks, they worked on “Space Camp the Motion Picture (1984)” where John built his first space shuttle flight and mid deck, shuttle nose and space suits. The next year the equipment was donated to Space Camp in Huntsville. John helped them install the sets and built the first space shuttle flight motion simulator for the public, in the USA. A year or so later they added a second one. And WonderWorks flight bridge became their poster for two decades. Since then John has built over 20 flight bridges, half a dozen mid deck, a couple of cargo bays and a dozen space station modules, all in full scale, as well as three full-scale shuttle noses and a dozen Mercury and Apollo capsules. We worked with Buzz Aldren for several months designing and building models of his concept for the space station. We have maintained a friendship over the years and last worked together again in 2006 on “The Astronaut Farmer”. Mr. Aldren consulted on the films “Apollo 11” and “Earth to the Moon”, which John also worked on, and Apollo 15 Commander on his Martian Explorer “Grendle” project, and again on “Apollo 13” . Mr. Palmer is currently planning to have Buzz host on a reality show they are developing called “SpaceQuest”. Like “The Apprentice” it’s an elimination contest over 13 weeks testing contestants using NASA astronaut training methods, suits and equipment. Mr. Palmer has worked on some 50, of which about 25 are space oriented, running from low budget to $140 million (see IMDB report attached). Our success at Space Camp prompted the Museo de los Niños museum in Caracas in 1989 to have WonderWorks design and build the first fully hands-on interactive space museum program at Ninos to handle large numbers of classroom students and introduce them to rockets and space flight. Many of the exhibits work together to provide a complete picture of the exploration of space. As students grow older, their curriculum delves further, so the equipment can handle K through 12 and is useful to college level students as well. In addition John’s team helped design the educational programs at the 5th and 11th grade levels to coordinate student visits with easy use of the equipment students when they arrived. By the time John built the capsule and Lunar Lander for “Apollo 13” they had collected a large number of space pieces, a flight deck, mid deck, space station modules, LEM, Apollo & Mercury capsules, space suits and other pieces and they began to think about using them educationally. So in 1998 they partnered with their local governments of Canoga Park and West Hills plus the Fallbrook Mall to open a space-learning center called SPACE PLEX. Mr. Palmer is the only designer who has built space equipment and actually ran a space education program and knows the challenges and pitfalls. In addition, WonderWorks began working with NASA and Rockwell in the early 80’s to refurbish the first shuttle mockup Rockwell built at their shuttle fabrication plant in Downey. From that point on, when people or companies would contact either wanting anything shuttle, they would refer them to WonderWorks. We became the de-facto provider of things NASA to the film and museum community. And for NASA we have built hundreds of shuttle, space station and other models in all scales including full scale. They have built a large, very accurate shuttle cargo bay under a security clearance with the White Sands-Alamogordo Test Facility. Then constructed all of the “Star Wars” weapons in the same 32

accurate scale and tolerances to make certain the weapons would actually fit in the cargo bay. Similarly, they have built a number of scale models and full-scale mock-ups for JPL (and other sub-contractors in the space industry). Mr. Palmer’s team has designed and installed exhibits at Kennedy Space Flight Visitors Center, NASA Lewis/Alabama Space Museum, NASA-Ames Research Center and the Johnson Space Flight Visitors Center. Very early in their involvement in things space for NASA, they were approached by the Ames Research Center in Palo Alto to build the first full-scale mock up of the Space Hab (a space habitat). Space Hab was to be carried in the shuttle cargo bay to increase the number of crew, and in addition it could be configured as a lab or miniature factory for experiments in space, and then returned to the user for research. Their HAB at Ames remains an ergonomics study lab and is still in use today. Space Camp isn’t the only hands-on facility Mr. Palmer and his team has created. In 1996 they were asked by the city of Columbus, Georgia to design the exhibits and assist in the curriculum development for the Coca Cola Space Science Center located there. A brief list of some of the locations where Mr. Palmer has designed and/or build exhibits relative to space: Coca Cola Space Center - Space Camp/Huntsville JFK Space Flight Visitors Center Johnson Space Flight Visitors Center National Air & Space Museum NASA Ames Research Center Jet Propulsion Laboratory L.A. Space & Science Center SPACE PLEX/Canoga Park Oklahoma Air & Space Museum U.C.
