Sustainable Rhode Island: VIDEO

The RIght Way
The Great Green Shoot Off of 2007
A project of Sustainable RI

We need a moving picture. A brief, 1-4 minute, trailer to help launch a revolution. A video that will renew the Ocean State’s commitment to a truth, which isn’t inconvenient, but instead promises a happy, healthy future for everyone. Can you picture that? Can you inspire while being pragmatic? Can you compel people to take action?

Make us laugh, cry, hope, and dream, and your work will get more than just a little credit.

We invite you:
Rhode Islanders, like most Americans, consume more than our share of resources and as a result negatively impact our world’s capacity to support us economically, socially and environmentally. It’s just plain wrong. But our size, intellectual resources and our history of independence makes our state the perfect proving ground for a new way of doing things. The RIght Way.

There are hundreds of RI’ers already doing it. Show us.
The most inspiring, compelling and realistic interpretation of The RIght Way will become our pennant as we move forward, being seen by thousands of RI’ers every week, from all walks of life. While there are great prizes for the top picks, everyone’s entries will be featured on the web, shown in movie houses such as the Cable Car, the Jane Pickens Theater and AS220, and your fame and glory will spread alongside the solutions to global warming.

Join us Tuesday, April 24th at 7:00 pm at the 17 Gordon Avenue Green Business Incubator to find out more and enter the contest. Or, email bekah@apeiron.org or visit www.apeiron.org to receive information and entry form on-line. Shooting commences on 4/24 and entries will be accepted through May 25th.

About us:
Sustainable Rhode Island, a project of the Apeiron Institute for Environmental Living, is a statewide initiative to transform Rhode Island into the nations’ first Sustainable State. Driven by a host of speakers, programs, events, conferences, summits and campaigns throughout the year, we hope to catalyze the public and leadership to create tangible programs and initiatives that will move us closer to the goal of a sustainable state. By sustainable we mean not consuming resources or creating waste at rates faster than the systems we rely upon for life can safely replenish and renew.

Don’t miss the next wave in the Ocean State’s art scene. Join the green revolution!
