Green Energy NOW!
Hoosier Environmental Council Announces the Launch of our First-Ever Video Contest!
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:
After you’ve uploaded your video, send your name, contact information (email and phone number) and the title of your video to Ms. Alex Eaks (aeaks@hecweb.org). We need your info to send you your t-shirt/decal and to notify you if your video is a winner!
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. Our relationship with the environment runs deeper than legislation - what's your story?

A New Economic Revolution - Utopia!
By British Writer & Entrepreneur Tina Jesson www.tinajesson.com
I have had the luxury of working from home for the last 10 years, even when I was corporately employed, before setting up my own businesses. I’m certainly 100% more efficient than working from an office and there are other benefits...
It seems to me that with technology being so widely available it doesn’t matter what continent you are on, let along what building you are in, to switch on the laptop or answer the mobile phone.
As more and more people are leaving corporate world and choosing to start up their new business rather than face months on benefits, the environmental benefits will become ever more noticeable.
No more pre packaged lunches, or paper coffee cups or water buts required here, when everything is at hand in the home kitchen. To save costs, home based businesses will automatically reduce the paper in the system as they choose to work online. Web 2.0 technologies means more and more information is stored off site on hosted solutions, taking way the overhead of printing everything out hard copy.
It’s the corporations that will get left behind. Maybe they should be thinking more about right sizing than downsizing and taking the lead from those of us, whose whole way of life needs to change for pure survival.
When you think about it, this new breed of home based business and home based worker means that there’s less over-crowding in our cities, so you can start to get the lifestyle you want and move out of town. It’s like the cottage industries of the pre industrial revolution. With such a movement happening by osmosis, this back to basic living, we may well develop a new utopia. Becoming more self sufficient, not lonely, but part of a truly worldwide community, growing our own veg and having chicken in the run and the windmill in the yard creating energy to feedback in to the grid.
Using technologies and our collective knowledge in a much more cost efficient, energy efficient, global community way. This new economic revolution as President Obama called it. Life will never be quite the same again.
Who says miracles don’t happen?
