THE GREEN DIVAS - WHY SHOULD WE CARE? CAMPAIGN
by Green Divas Radio Show
We are all bombarded with paralyzing gloom and doom
information about what is happening to the planet. The Green Divas want to
lighten the load and share low-stress ways of living a deeper shade of green.
In other words, we care about sustainability, but we still shave our legs - we
just do it more responsibly. This campaign is to help us create a catalog of
videos that ask and answer the questions, “Why should we care?” and “What can
we do?” Using animated graphics we will take the information we learn from our
extended Green Diva (and Green Dude) family of trusted experts and make the
information entertaining and digestible with do-able action steps so that
everyone can join in.
This funding will allow us to produce a few of these 2-3 minute videos so that
we can show off why even more need to be made. We will use the samples to
raise the money it takes to make lots of them and blast them out into the world
through our already-established relationships with our online media partners
(who have a combined unique monthly visitorship of over 45 million eyeballs).
They will be non-exclusive and available to EVERYONE who wants to share what
they learn from these videos with their friends, family, students, nosey
neighbors, Internet pals etc.
For example:
Why should we care about electronic waste or eWaste?
Did you know that in this country alone we produce 20 to 50 metric tons of
eWaste, of which only 15% gets recycled!?! That is the equivalent of about
100,000 fully-loaded 747s that could potentially end up in landfills, (picture
an animation of a bunch of 747s being piled up in a land fill).
What can we do?
We will list and illustrate a list of ways to donate and recycle your eWaste.
This series can be used to reach the dedicated to the newly converted and the
about to be converted. There will so many subjects tackled that everyone will
find something they can do and feel better about.
