Getting a promo video going viral
Tom Owens
I was wondering what ever happened to that promo video that was made after the first retreat. Did anyone make any other videos that can just be floating everywhere, so when people get VAPS emails, they get a snappy visual. Here is one that is a bit too long from GA Green Peach Student Conference. Something like one minute snappy, good music, funny, and revolutionary. Anyone good at that inspiring videographyness?
We could get these things everywhere, cause nothing tells a story like YouTube and faces of the movement

Growing a Greener Peach-State

(Atlanta, Ga) Georgia's young people are working to cure our nations energy crisis and are going green in a big way. This Labor Day weekend, over 150 students and youth leaders from around Georgia participated in the third annual GreenPeach! Youth Environmental-Action Conference hosted by Georgia Students for Sustainability and the Southern Energy Network.
The GreenPeach celebrated the work students have already done to green campuses around the state, and provided workshops to enhance participant knowledge of state environmental issues, like the affects of climate change on Georgia's agricultural industry. Conference attendees also learned the skills necessary to run campaigns that target polluters and decision-makers with the power to help green Georgia's campuses and communities.
"Young people recognize the affects of climate change and how it will impact our future" said Kate Morales, conference organizer and Georgia State student. "It's motivating thousands of Georgia youth to take a stance and work for positive changes in how we produce our energy".
Over the past year Georgia Students for Sustainability passed "green fee" initiatives, minimal student tuition increases which are used to fund renewable energy projects, on numerous campuses like Georgia Tech and Georgia State, and in the Board of Regent's Student Advisory Council.
"Young people are working around our stat to put a stop the injustice of dirty energy developments like nuclear expansions and Cobb EMC's proposed coal-fired power plant" said Valdosta State student and Southern Energy Network organizer Natasha Fast, "and at the same time are creating real solutions and green economies on their campuses and in their communities".
Students with Georgia Students for Sustainability canvassed Monday, to encourage Cobb EMC members to attend the annual co-op meeting on Thursday the 4th. Cobb EMC CEO Dwight Brown was surprised with a visit from local Pope High-school students worried about possible rate-hikes from their decision to build a new coal-fired power plant. Young people have worked to oppose the co-ops decision to build the new 850MW plant in Washington County since the proposals announcement in January.
Georgia Students for Sustainability is a network of the regional organization the Southern Energy Network, which works to build a student and youth-led movement that emphasize a just, safe, clean energy future.

to utilize. If you or someone you know loves to make films, have them
record progress on your campus and even come to VAPS this fall so the
nation and beyond can see what amazing things we're doing.
