I have to say that the voices of support for the work the Foundation has so far done, have echoed in our ears over the last few days. I give my personal thanks and those of all involved with the Foundation to the many people who have made contact to express their feelings to the news that the Foundation was to suspend its Operations.

It is testament to your support that the few days of suspension of operations, may go into the Guinness Book of Records and the shortest on record. From here we must forge on with the fight on Terra and ‘Not Back Down’ Thank You! Bob Williamson. 

Bob
We were very surprised to receive your email re suspending operations of the Greenhouse Neutral Foundation. What are you going to do with yourself now? We didn’t realise that it was costing you so much, what a nightmare!! – AC – France

Dear Bob–so terribly sorry about this! We were looking forward to working
with you and continuing your good work. In addition to consulting, I also
have a Safari business and see that the impact of the down economy is worse
this year than even last. Perhaps funding opportunities will improve in
the not too distant future. – LR – Africa

Hi Bob,
I’m terribly sorry to hear that you had to suspend your GNF operations.
Your work is what I’ve found the most interesting of this kind on internet ever.
And always the same problem: the FINANCING!!! – VM – France

Dear Bob, It was with a heavy heart that I read of the suspension of operations of Greenhouse Neutral Foundation. I know how hard you have worked to establish this great initiative and that you have put your heart and soul, as well as considerable financial resources into developing the Foundation and you have achieved so much. – JM – Australia

Hi Bob,
Sorry to hear this – you have done a great job. Pity we seem to be taking steps backwards again in Australia, when for a while there I thought we were actually moving forwards.

Good luck and I will look forward to hearing from you again sometime when it is all happening again, which no doubt it will.
Good work….brilliant. – LF – Australia

Hi Bob, I am very sorry you have had to stop production of this very valuable web site.
I have found it a very good source of information on environmental matters.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment
Best wishes for the future. – W- Australia

Hey Bob,
Very sorry to hear this news….
Hope some funding will become available in the future for you to continue
this important work.
Give my best to all and keep your chin up. – NS – Australia

Bob – Sorry to hear that, but you still have a voice and a presence which has to be reckon with in the future. I feel your pain, but I am sure you know how to use it and turn it into something beautiful. – MB – USA

Dear Bob,
I am so very sorry to hear this news! You have been doing such an incredible job and it grieves me to know that you have used up all your funds from Pot Recyclers. I bought your book late last year and have lent it to several people already and they all agree that you are a man of great wisdom and intelligence. I do hope you find a way to continue your amazing work in the near future. Our planet needs you!!!!!

With love and support, – SS – Australia
P.S. If I had some funds to offer your foundation, I would gladly do so.
Unfortunately, I am unemployed and am currently living off my savings while caring for my elderly Mother. I’m sorry!

Dear Bob,
I’m sorry to hear that you have to suspend your good work in this area but I hope it will lead to other good works. I wish you well for the future and applaud you for your contribution to making the world a better place.
Best wishes, – LL – Australia

Hey Bob
Very sad to hear all this. Perhaps the backlash against the Climate Change message has spread too widely. Shame really as I think the tide is turning again with people like the CSIRO Chair-person making strong statements again lately. It seems as though there has been such competition for research funding that too many scientists have stretched the truth just a little in order to get $s. This is a function of our competitive research grants system in all fields, including my own…………..
It seems that your ‘act locally’ idea with pot re-cycling was really the most effective way of contributing to the greenhouse deal. It seems to me that the actions will be left to those few who do know and understand – and act locally. – WA – Australia

Dear Bob,
I am sorry to hear of your financial difficulties. I do hope that you will soon have stability once more.

Thank you for your efforts regarding the environment. You have achieved much more than the vast majority of people.
Regards, – RC – Canada

Hello Bob,
I was very shocked to read this. Didn’t know there was even any risk this might happen. I can tell things are not okay, but don’t quite know what to say or do.

When you can take a moment, let me know if there is any way I can help. You are a good friend and great ally.
All the best, JT – USA

Bob,
……I don’t know what to say. “I’m sorry” doesn’t even come close.

I had a conversation once, on Twitter, with another compassionate friend. We started talking about money and the fact that neither of us had any. I told him, the only time I wish I had more money was when someone I cared about needed it, and I couldn’t do enough to help. That’s how I feel, now…..

Of course, your family has to come first. How can you help the planet, when you, yourself, are struggling? So, I understand your decision. But, I also understand your dedication to the Foundation. There must be something that can be done…..? I have no idea how much you’d need, to stay afloat. If you want to give me an estimate, maybe I could help you brainstorm. I’m sure there are others who would do the same.

Let me know what I can do, please.
Yours, – KC- USA

Sorry Bob
I saw on twitter you are suspending operations…… I am so sorry to hear, you have been an inspiration to us all. MG – USA

Dear Bob and Suzanne,
It was quite sad and disheartening to read your e mail on discontinuing GNF, but I would consider it as end of a stage instead of the end of a mission. I appreciate your cause and I understand your problems. I know it is virtually impossible to carry out activism without money and sponsorship like everything extracts a price.

But Bob,…..suppose you had no access to funding ever. Would you keep quite? Would you remain voiceless and silent?
No….. a big No…… would be your answer. So all you have to find out is….. how?
- SS- India

Bob I am so sad to read this but understand your situation. I hope that you are able to stay online and update us with some wonderful green titbits and stay engaged while you also seek to do what is necessary to take care of the family. Best wishes always and many thanks for all you do for the Earth. – DR – USA

Sorry to hear this Rob. My heartfelt thanks for the invaluable work you have done towards the cause and in writing the book. The concern and momentum must somehow be kept up, but each of us can only do so much without burning out. I hope you will keep the information side of the website and also the blog going. – BR – Australia

Bob,
I feel sad hearing your great passion has been thwarted in part. You and your family have made a great contribution and nothing will take away from that reality. You are the kind of people who will move on from this to new and perhaps even greater things. I send you my blessings.

Love and peace, – HM Australia
