Hey KIB, check this out...


The Hoosier Environmental Council has launched a video contest for this summer and fall, coinciding with movement of major energy/global warming legislation in Congress (a historic bill just passed out of the House last week!)

The contest is called Green Energy NOW! and the goal is to find out what Hoosiers are doing to fight global warming in their daily lives and why/how they are advocating for green energy/climate action (personally and/or legislatively) – in new and creative ways (online videos).

Prizes will be awarded for the four videos that are:
- the funniest: $200 prize
- the most creatively produced: $200 prize
- the most thoughtful/well-researched: $200 prize
- the HEC favorite (GRAND prize): $500 prize
- All participants will receive an HEC organic cotton t-shirt and window decal...

You can make your video with a video-camera, a webcam, your cell phone, or post an image slideshow/presentation with music/voiceover. Keep your video under 3 minutes and upload it to the contest's YouTube page:

The contest begins June 30 and ends August 24; winners will be announced on HEC’s website and the YouTube page on August 31 and contacted personally to arrange receipt of prizes.

For video ideas, software resources, and official contest rules, download these guidelines

Spread the news about this contest to your friends/family. This is a great way to keep the energy/climate conversation going - but in a more creative and personal way. We all want a good bill, but our relationship with the environment runs deeper than legislation - what's your story?

I hope you do not mind if I give a plug? In an effort to not waste resources - human, financial and other - I ask you to please pass on the information about the SAVI conference next week Wednesday, April 22 and Thursday, April 24. The posting is right here on Smaller Indiana by the IUPUIs Polis Center.
Thank you and I encourage nonprofits to attend, network with me and others and learn.
Thank you for reading my post.
Peace,
Dani

We're working out the logistics now with Chase Tower management. Our office is right around the corner at Michigan & Pennsylvania. Lacking a better plan, just drop off your stuff at 101 E Michigan and we'll make sure it gets on the truck.

Thanks!

We're sponsoring The Chase Tower eCycling event on April 22. If you have old computer equipment (anything with a cord ;) - but aren't a tenant in the Chase Tower - let me know and we'll arrange a drop off point nearby.
