Winning video urges individuals to help environment

One after another, 53 Rhode Islanders tell a camera that they know they should do something about the environment, but what difference would it make if they act alone? What good would it do? What can one person do?

A four-minute video cuts all of those comments together and shows that if people do act together, they can make a difference.

The video, shot by a Rhode Island based independent film group called eLBOW dEEp (mEDIA), was named this morning the winner of “The Right Way Great Green Shoot Off of 2007,” a project to create short videos promoting Rhode Island’s sustainable living movement.

The video is to be shown as a trailer before movies at the Feinstein IMAX theater in Providence. It will be displayed at the all-day “Sustainable Living Festival & Clean Energy Expo that will be held this Saturday at the Nickerson Community Center’s Camp Hamilton in western Coventry. And it should be available for viewing soon at www.apeiron.org, the Web site of The Apeiron Institute for Environmental Living, which sponsored the video contest and Saturday’s festival.

Extra: Watch the winning video (in QuickTime format).
