Cross-Country Eco-Video Travel Project

We're planning a cross-country eco-documentary for kids that focuses on renewable energy and sustainable design/living. These are the potential solutions to the problems our kids will inherit - national security, the environment, and the economy.

Idea Description

In May/June 2009, we will be traveling the U.S. in our veg-oil powered VW Beetle and profiling renewable energy sites and people/technologies that have made impacts in sustainable design and living. We will compile our video profiles online and onto DVD to distribute to schools, so that kids can be empowered to create a renewable and sustainable future. Our award-winning eco-videos have been seen by over 200,000 people, and the time has come for people to see what solutions exist to solve the problems of energy security, the climate crisis, and our economy. Our website for the project is www.OurRenewableNation.org, which has a map and destination list and all the info about our project.

What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?

Winning $10K will allow us to distribute our DVD to schools on a massive scale through the National Science Teachers Association. It is critical for kids to know what tools and resources they have available to use in creating a renewable and sustainable future, free of politics and fear. Teachers will be able to use our DVD as an educational tool in classrooms, where they will be able to choose from our many video profiles what aspects they want to focus on. The per-unit price of producing DVDs in bulk is small, and $10K would buy A LOT of copies for schools. Our eco-video project is an educational non-profit and our mission is to empower kids to create a renewable and sustainable future
