One Week to Go in Current TV's Ecospot Contest
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 09. 4.07
As Current TV's :60 Seconds to Save the Earth contest enters its final week (that's right, the deadline is September 12!), it's time for an intervention to get us off our addiction to oil and get clean. Check out this sample entry to the contest to see more of the ways that drug use and oil relate; if it inspires you to want to show the world how we can solve the climate crisis through moving pictures, we recommend that you upload your video via the contest site before the September 12 deadline. If the judges (celebs like Cameron Diaz and George Clooney first, and your fellow Current viewers second) like it, your vid will air on Current and you could win a Toyota Highlander Hybrid or any number of fabulous prizes. Check out more samples here, here, here and here on TreeHugger and here on Current, and learn more about the contest here. Good luck! ::Current TV's :60 Seconds to Save the Earth video contest

an ecospot contest where you can win a gas-guzzling suv, oh sorry a hybrid suv. it only emits 192g CO2 per km. ok, there are cars without a hybrid motor that also could transport up to 7 people from a to b and emit a lot less. but who cares. the highlander hybrid is made by toyota and this means it has to be green by name.

the spot is fine but the reward really foils the message.
Excellent spot. The imagery is powerful, and it really nails the reason more people have yet to adopt a greener lifestyle. We're all addicted to little, everyday conveniences that ultimately harm the environment. What many fail to realize is just how big a difference can be made through little changes.
