Here's a thought: fossil fuels are polluting...duh.
I heard an interesting take on that on the radio lately. Our major sources of electricity: coal, nuclear, oil, and gas, require government regulatory agencies to do regular site visits to make sure the power plants aren't polluting more than they are allowed to. Gotta keep an eye on those sneaky devils and make sure they're not trying to get away with anything, at least while someones watching, right? Well, that's a whole groups of agencies that no longer need to exist with renewable energy. Factor that into the cost-benefit analysis for renewables!
OK, as part of our effort to spread the word about our video project, and win some money to help fund it, we've entered a few video contests. If you could take a minute to watch and vote, it would support our project!
Climate Matters video contest:
Here are our two entries - I've embedded them here, but if that doesn't work I've provided the URLs. The video with the most views wins $3,000, so please watch and forward!
1. An Inconvenient Youth - http://vimeo.com/1611792
As the youth of today become more aware of climate change and how it affects their future, their voices will be impossible to ignore. This video features 8-year-old Carrick, who sends a message to politicians from the future generation.

2. 456% Renewable! - http://vimeo.com/1623929
In the U.S., we have an abundance of natural resources that we can use to reach 100% renewable energy, although many still insist we will continue to need coal, nuclear, oil, and gas. Why? Our renewable energy resources could produce 4 1/2 times as much electricity as this country uses, if we wanted to make it happen. Our politicians need to embrace the future of renewable energy!

EarthKeepers Video Contest
Our entry, 'Our Renewable Nation', is our 3-minute video about the travel project. If you go to www.youtube.com/earthkeepers, you can vote for our video from the top 3. you have to be logged into YouTube, and next to our video is a thumbs-up to click to vote for our video. The contest winner gets $5,000!
Of course, any money we might win from either contest would all go towards funding our travel project!

Colin
