"Plan B 3.0" comes to life with SEE-IT from Visible Strategies

February 24, 2009 - VANCOUVER, B.C. - Today Visible Strategies, provider of the world's most visually-engaging performance management and communications software, and the Earth Policy Institute, a research organization in Washington, D.C., announced the public launch in Visible Strategies' SEE-ITTM software of Lester R. Brown's world-renowned plan to save civilization. For the first time, the plan outlined in Mr. Brown's book, "Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization", has been transformed into a single, interactive place on the Web using SEE-IT's multimedia interface. Now individuals, communities, and organizations everywhere can quickly see and understand "Plan B," and be inspired to become the generation that mobilizes to save civilization.

"The Earth Policy Institute is dedicated to building a sustainable future and showing how to get from here to there. 'Plan B' represents an ambitious but necessary strategy to cut global carbon emissions 80 percent by 2020, and SEE-IT is an excellent tool for presenting the goals and strategies I’ve outlined," said Lester Brown, President of the Earth Policy Institute.

"Bringing 'Plan B' to life on screen is an honour for Visible Strategies but more than that, it's a chance to help make a significant difference in the battle to save the planet," said Colin Grant, CEO and Founder, Visible Strategies. "By graphically connecting the dots of Lester's plan within SEE-IT and presenting his recommendations in this visually-engaging and clear way, we believe more people will get involved. Think of this as the 'Coles Notes for Plan B' but in an interactive, online format everybody will love to use."
