Mission Statement:
Our mission is to inspire and empower kids to create a renewable and sustainable future.
We
are at a critical time in history where our energy and lifestyle choices are going to be profoundly different than previous
generations. It is vital for young people today to understand the opportunities and challenges we face, free of politics
and fear.
Our Vision:
1. Focus on renewable energy: We'll be visiting examples of different types
of renewable energy in the U.S., including wind, solar, hydroelectric, wave power, tidal power, geothermal, and biogas. By
showing examples of existing and proven renewable technologies, we want to show people how abundant our natural resources
are in this country, and how very possible it is to achieve 100% renewable energy.
2.
Focus on sustainable design/living: We'll be showing examples of many aspects of sustainability including: zero
waste, pollution-free transportation, sustainable design, green cities in the U.S., and sustainable companies and products.
For most Americans, sustainable living means sacrifice and compromise - put on that extra sweater and suffer! We'll show
that with a whole-systems approach including smart design, manufacturing, transportation, and zero waste, our country can
make a tremendous leap forward in sustainability, with an exciting future of possibilities!
3. Individuals
making a difference: Our time is not only unique in history because of our access to information, but also our ability
as individuals to make our voices heard and create real change. We'll be interviewing inspiring people who used their
passion on issue to make a positive difference. Our travel project itself is a testament to that: after almost 2 years of
making green videos with our old camcorder, our videos have been seen by over 200,000 people, and our cross-country eco-video
project will bring our message of sustainability to a much wider audience.
