Recent changes in Federal law allows anyone a federal tax deduction for their
Donation to a Non-Profit, up to 50% of their Adjusted Gross Income.
Our 501c3 Non-Profit Mission Project #36 is to avert Global Warming by helping to keep registered hybrid vehicles in service and on the road continuing to cut transportation related expenses and CO2 pollution, and to provide “at cost to free” new and used parts along with a Vehicle Donor System for Retired Hybrids to be Re-Purposed into a......
‘Second Life’ as Portable Emergency Electric Generators.
Epilogue ~
The world consumes 25-Trillion KWH of electricity yearly.
Solar cell arrays installed cost about twelve cents per KWH.
About $3.14-Trillion can install enough solar cells World-Wide to:
REPLACE ALL FORMS of ELECTRIC POWER PRODUCTION POLLUTION.
About $314 Billion Could Solar Power ALL of the U.S.A. for the next 20 years.
~ Did The Math ~ In 2021 and 2022 was even more!
1,540,000,000,000,000 1.54 Quadrillion World net Assets.
269,600,000,000,000 269 Trillion USA net Assets
6,850,000,000,000 6.85 Trillion 2021 USA Federal budget appropriated.
4,080,000,000,000 4.08 Trillion 2021 USA Federal tax revenue.
2,800,000,000,000 2.80 Trillion 2021 USA Borrowed to balance the budget, and “Spent Forward”.
3,140,000,000,000 3.14 Trillion Dollar “loans are projected to subsidize our current 2022 Federal budget.
5,100,000,000,000 5.10 Trillion is spent annually to subsidize the international fossil fuel industries.
3,140,000,000,000 3.14 Trillion spent on Solar World-Wide would Replace ALL Fossil Fuel Electric Production.
314,000,000 314 Billion spent on Local Solar Projects could electric power all of the USA, replacing fossil fuel.
Only> $3.14 Million investment / donation in my Project #36, “Save The Prii”, when fully implemented will allow Hybrid Vehicle Owners to Save Over $15 Billion in transportation costs, produce over 80 Thousand+ USA jobs at $15+ per hour, reduce production of over One Billion Tons of CO2, provide Free Charging and all electric vehicle transportation needs.
~ Do The Math ~
The over 1.3 million Hybrid / Battery vehicles on US roads are each saving about 200 gallons of gasoline a year. One gallon of Gas burned equals= 20 pounds of CO2. As a World Health Issue, “Subsidizing” to keep them all on the road for just one more year could save over 260,000,000 gallons of gas, the two million six hundred thousand tons of CO2 from burning it, the pollution from manufacturing new vehicles, and the CO2 footprint of crude oil extraction, transporting, refining, transporting, storing and retailing it into our vehicles. At $5.50+ per gallon, Hybrid vehicle owners could save almost a Billion Five per year in transportation cost.
~ Our children and theirs will remember us by our quick response and contribution to maintaining a healthy planet for them to inherit. If we don’t win “The War Against Climate Change”… we will all die on the battlefield.
~ Our Project #36 "Save The Prii" 501c3 Non-Profit Mission to help Stop Global Warming is multi-fold ~
Our Primary Mission is to help keep all the registered Hybrid / Battery vehicles in service and on the road, by providing “at cost to free” new and used parts and service to all Battery Car Owners, thereby cutting transportation related pollution by about 65% per transportation mile.
Our Second Mission, ’Save The Prii’ is to save over 200,000 ‘retired’ Prii (Plural Toyota Prius tm) every year from the crusher by Re-Purposing them into a second life as Gas / Solar powered 5-KWH Portable Emergency Power Plant Generators.
State Registered as a tow-able on-road T-bar utility trailer, ‘Prii Power Plants’ can be transported to provide electric power a job site, a small house, and road ready for disaster relief deployment to any emergency location to power communication, medical, and law enforcement facilities to save lives.
The ‘Plug-Out-Power’ ‘Prii Power Plant’ will produce about 5-KW 110/220v of AC electricity for about 40 cents per/KWH @ $5.50 per gallon of gas, or about half the cost of conventional emergency generators and can support higher power appliances like 220v well pumps and central air handlers with increased longevity, reliability, higher efficiency of operation, quieter, and less pollution.
The Toyota Prius(tm) automatic start-stop technology only runs the engine [generator] when the battery gets too low and only until the battery is recharged, for a 50-90% fuel savings over standard generators that run non-stop while while producing twice Co2.
‘Prii Power Pod’ Full Conversion Installation Kit using the new v4.1 5-KWH “Plug Out Power Pack” should take an average mechanic about 20 hours to assemble, two “Prii Pods” per week, 100 per year, one mechanic at $15 per hour, 50 weeks, $30,000 every year, putting over 60 million dollars into local economies,
Our ‘Save The Prii’ Project #36 501c3 Non-Profit Mission to help Stop Global Warming is multi-fold.
#1- Once funded and in production of drive-able or tow-able “Prii Power Plants”, the basic 5-watt “Plug-Out Power Kit” will provide enough 220-Volts for a deep well water pump for drinking water, flushing toilets, and 110-Volts to power a furnace, air, fridge, and communication systems.
#2- The “Prii Solar Stack Pack Kit” consisting of three 6x8’ roof rack mounted foldout solar panels about 50-SqFt producing about about 1500-Watts per day, and in one ‘Sunny Day Cycle’ charge a Prii batteries enough to drive about 40 ‘Sun Miles’. A daily 15 mile drive to work, the store, and back, using only solar power, produces Zero Emission, and Zero Fossil Energy use, and take about 75 sunny days to drive coast to coast for free.
#3- “Prii Dual Battery Kit” Wiring and switching panel for a retrofitted second Prii battery located in the trunk area, for backup on a rainy day or extended travel time.
#4- “Prii Fuel Cell Kit” Retrofitted “safe” Gasoline Fuel Cells placed in the rear floor for extended use.
#5- The “Prii T-Bar Kit” collapsible tow-bar assembly when attached will allow normal driving when folded back, and transport as a registered trailer for emergency deployment to hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and neighborhoods during rolling blackouts and the predicted catastrophic weather events.
#6- “Prii Shower Assembly Kit”. Use every calorie of heat with a cooling system / exhaust pipe heat ex-changer plumbed into a 12-Volt circulating pump into a little 20 gallon electric water heater sideways in the back seat area.
#7- “Prii Camper Kit” for people in transition. Two passenger street legal. Removed original rear seating, replaced with fold down front seats level with a rear deck, with trap doors to access foot well lower storage areas. All additional accessories available. Sleeps a crowded 4.
~ About twenty minutes running time a day using about a half gallon of gas can fully charge the battery, or a full sunny day, pump water up into a 100 gallon storage tank, heat enough water for a 12 minute shower, cook dinner in a microwave, and charge a 12 volt battery enough to power cell phones and LED lighting for 24+ hours. Everything a Micro House Needs to survive off grid.
< IF OUR GENERATIONS RIGHT NOW DO NOT STEP UP IMMEDIATELY to "Clean Up OUR Mess"... OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO >
Our ‘Save The Prii’ Project #36 501c3 Non-Profit Mission to help Stop Global Warming is multi-fold.
Prototyping a 501c3 Non-Profit business template for a scale-able, license-able, production line system to apply Portable Generator kits to retired Prii will require a licensed and inspected garage facility and a skilled crew.
Located on Vermont's ‘Grand Army of the Republic Highway’ are two abutting commercial properties lot 23 at $152,000 and lot 23-1 at $162,000. The combined facilities will include about 15.8 Commercial Acres with a 6 bay oil heated garage with 2-14’ doors, a 10,000Lb lift, and a separate room for battery re-manufacturing and recycling with parking space outside for 100+ vehicles.

ARTICLE X DOCUMENT RETENTION POLICY
1- Purpose
The purpose of this document retention policy is establishing standards for document integrity, retention, and destruction and to promote the proper treatment of Non-Profit Consumerocracy Limited records.
2- Policy
Section 1. General Guidelines. Records should not be kept if they are no longer needed for the operation of the business or required by law. Unnecessary records should be eliminated from the files. The cost of maintaining records is
an expense which can grow unreasonably if good housekeeping is not performed. A mass of records also makes it more difficult to find pertinent records.
From time to time, Non-Profit Consumerocracy Limited may establish
retention or destruction policies or schedules for specific categories of records
in order to ensure legal compliance, and also to accomplish other objectives, such as preserving intellectual property and cost management.
Several categories of documents that warrant special consideration are identified below. While minimum retention periods are established, the retention of the documents identified below and of documents not included in the
identified categories should be determined primarily by the application of the general guidelines affecting document retention, as well as the exception for litigation relevant documents and any other pertinent factors.
Section 2. Exception for Litigation Relevant Documents. Non-Profit Consumerocracy Limited expects all officers, directors, and employees to
comply fully with any published records retention or destruction policies and schedules, provided that all officers, directors, and employees should note the following general exception to any stated destruction schedule: If you believe,
or the Non-Profit Consumerocracy Limited informs you, that corporate records are relevant to litigation, or potential litigation (i.e. a dispute that could result in litigation), then you must preserve those records until it is determined that the records are no longer needed. That exception supersedes any previously or subsequently established destruction schedule for those records.
Section 3. Minimum Retention Periods for Specific Categories
(a) Corporate Documents. Corporate records include the corporation’s
Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and IRS Form 1023 and Application for Exemption. Corporate records should be retained permanently. IRS
regulations require that the Form 1023 be available for public inspection
upon request.
(b) Tax Records. Tax records include, but may not be limited to, documents concerning payroll, expenses, proof of contributions made by donors,
accounting procedures, and other documents concerning the corporation’s revenues. Tax records should be retained for at least seven years from the date
of filing the applicable return.
(c) Employment Records/Personnel Records. State and federal statutes
require the corporation to keep certain recruitment, employment and personnel information. The corporation should also keep personnel files that reflect performance reviews and any complaints brought against the corporation or individual employees under applicable state and federal statutes. The
corporation should also keep in the employee's personnel file all final memoranda and correspondence reflecting performance reviews and actions taken by or against personnel. Employment applications should be retained for three years. Retirement and pension records should be kept permanently. Other employment and personnel records should be retained for seven years.
(d) Board and Board Committee Materials. Meeting minutes should be
retained in perpetuity in the corporation’s minute book. A clean copy of all
other Board and Board Committee materials should be kept for no less than
three years by the corporation.
(e) Press Releases/Public Filings. The corporation should retain permanent copies of all press releases and publicly filed documents under the theory that the corporation should have its own copy to test the accuracy of any document
a member of the public can theoretically produce against the corporation.
(f) Legal Files. Legal counsel should be consulted to determine the retention period of particular documents, but legal documents should generally be maintained for a period of ten years.
(g) Marketing and Sales Documents. The corporation should keep final copies of marketing and sales documents for the same period of time it keeps other corporate files, generally three years. An exception to the three-year policy may be sales invoices, contracts, leases, licenses, and other legal documentation. These documents should be kept for at least three years beyond the life of the agreement.
(h) Development/Intellectual Property and Trade Secrets. Development documents are often subject to intellectual protection in their final form (e.g., patents and copyrights). The documents detailing the development process are often also of value to the corporation and are protected as a trade secret where the corporation:
(1) derives independent economic value from the secrecy of the information;
and
(2) has taken affirmative steps to keep the information confidential and keep all documents designated as containing trade secret information for at least the life of the trade secret.
(i) Contracts. Final, execution copies of all contracts entered into by the corporation should be retained. The corporation should retain copies of the final contracts for at least three years beyond the life of the agreement, and longer in the case of publicly filed contracts.
(j) Correspondence. Unless correspondence falls under another category listed elsewhere in this policy, correspondence should generally be saved for two years.
(k) Banking and Accounting. Accounts payable ledgers and schedules should
be kept for seven years. Bank reconciliations, bank statements, deposit slips
and checks (unless for important payments and purchases) should be kept for three years. Any inventories of products, materials, and supplies and any invoices should be kept for seven years.
(l) Insurance. Expired insurance policies, insurance records, accident reports, claims, etc. should be kept permanently.
(m) Audit Records. External audit reports should be kept permanently. Internal audit reports should be kept for three years.
Section 4. Electronic Mail. E-mail that needs to be saved should be either:
(i) printed in hard copy and kept in the appropriate file; or
(ii) downloaded to a computer file and kept electronically or on disk as a separate file. The retention period depends upon the subject matter of the
e-mail, as covered elsewhere in this policy.

Non-Profit Consumerocracy Limited (N.P.C.L.)
Federal #EIN 93-2190968 Vermont 501c3 #0432763
Part IV Narrative Description of Activities Attachment
Our Mission is to discover, create, and promote public service platforms to help Mitigate Global Warming.
Funds received through the entirety of the corporation’s activities will be used exclusively for the charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be used for personal gains of any sort.
My Green Project #36 Ten Year mission to “Save The Prii” proposes to Help Hybrid Vehicle Owners to Save Over $15 Billion in transportation costs, produce over 80 Thousand+ USA jobs at $15+ per hour, reduce production of over One Billion Tons of CO2, and promote to provide solar charged electric vehicles for our local community transportation needs.
Over 1.3 million Hybrid / Battery vehicles on US roads are each saving about 200 gallons of gasoline a year. One gallon of Gas burned equals= 20 pounds of CO2.
As a World Health Issue, “Subsidizing” to keep Hybrids “in service” for just one more year could save over 260,000,000 gallons of gas, the two million six hundred thousand tons of CO2 from burning it, the pollution from manufacturing new vehicles, and the CO2 footprint of crude oil extraction, transporting,
refining, transporting, storing and retailing it into our vehicles @ $5.50+ per gallon. Almost a Billion Five per year in transportation costs Hybrid Battery Vehicle owners will save.

internships or volunteer opportunities which will provide opportunities for involvement in outreach activities and programs in order to have a greater

will be open to the public and free of charge to participants and will not include compensation to the volunteers.
