Note from the Sundance Film Centers
Laura Klotz sent an autographed gift copy of her book, "Saving the World in Your Spare Time," to actor Robert Redford, in recognition of his work to preserve the environment from destruction. She received the following response from his secretary, Connie Wethington:

Dear Ms. Klotz:

I am writing on behalf of Robert Redford regarding your recent package.

Thank you for sending Mr. Redford a copy of your book, "Saving the World in Your Spare Time." Your thoughtful gesture was appreciated.

Mr. Redford is in the midst of a full schedule of film production and organizational commitments (including executive producing the upcoming PBS telefilm "Coyote Waits" among others) and his time and energies are stretched to their limits. That in combination with the vast amount of literature he receives daily for his perusal makes it impossible for him to personally respond to each and every item and individual who has so kindly taken the time to write. While not your intent, I must state for legal reasons that "Saving the World in Your Spare Time" cannot be considered as a possible film idea submission.

However, I can add that Mr. Redford always appreciates the fact that most real change comes from the grassroots and moves upward. Rest assured that Mr. Redford has been and will also continue to work on a variety of environmental issues. If you would like information on an environmental organization Mr. Redford regularly works with, please visit the website of the National Resources Defense Council and/or its companion site.

Best wishes for the future and thank you again for your generosity.

Sincerely,
Connie Wethington
