Here’s one for all you aspiring green filmmakers (Amy<\/a>… Ryan<\/a>…). Treehugger and Seventh Generation proudly present the Convenient Truths video contest. According to the MySpace bulletin making the rounds:<\/p>\n

Hi to all the friends of TreeHugger.com<\/a> out there,<\/p>\n

This is to announce the official launch of the CONVENIENT TRUTHS<\/b> Video Contest hosted by Treehugger.com<\/a>, Seventh Generation<\/a> and Weather.com<\/a> and endorsed by former Vice-President Al Gore.<\/p>\n

Starting November 21, 2006 you have until February 2007 to create a 1-2 minute video on everyday solutions to climate change.<\/p>\n

Winning entries will be chosen by web viewers and expert judges, including Laurie David, Arianna Huffington, Dr. Heidi Cullen, and Darryl Hannah.<\/p>\n

Ten winning entries will be featured on weather.com’s climate change site<\/a> and will be packaged and distributed by Ironweed Films. Prizes, valued at $25,000, are designed to reduce winners’ carbon emissions in areas of travel, transportation and home. They include: an all-expense paid trip for two to the Alaskan wilderness from Alaskan Wildland Adventures (AlaskaWildLand.com<\/a>), travel gear from Patagonia (Patagonia.com<\/a>), a green home makeover from EcoHome Improvement (EcoHomeImprovement.com<\/a>), Seventh Generation (SeventhGeneration.com<\/a>) home products, E-V Sunny Bicycles (TherapyProducts.com<\/a>) from Thera-P-Cushion, Voltaic solar backpacks (VoltaicSystems.com<\/a>) , a Zipcar (ZipCar.com<\/a>) membership, and carbon offsets (DriveNeutral.org<\/a>) .<\/p>\n

For more information, you can access the official site at www.truths.treehugger.com<\/a>, which has a carbon calculator, news on climate change and tips to reducing your personal carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

CONVENIENT TRUTHS<\/b> is a carbon-neutral contest, and all emissions generated will be offset by the non-profit organization Drive Neutral<\/a>. For more information, visit www.truths.treehugger.com<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pretty cool, huh? I’m on the periphery of this one right now, though I may have a more direct role soon…<\/p>\n
