1 minute to save the world is a short film competition about climate change that has aimed to create a platform for people all over the world, particularly young people, to get their messages out about climate change and to put those messages directly to the global leaders and decision makers in Copenhagen in December. There were some 200 entrants from 40 different countries. These have been whittled down to 30 with award winners to be announced next Monday. Have to imagine that Me too will rank up there. This really resonates with, well, me.
I’ve played the above for a variety of kids and all of them have thought it great as a way to show how each, on our own, can help create big problems and that each of us, on our own, can help solve them. This suggest to me that this is a great public service item for TV networks around the globe.
Here are some other “1 minute to save the world” videos:
“Our Time”
“Bear in Mind” This one is for the gamer in us (although have to wonder whether the reference is a generational one — what do you think?).
