Hopefully some of you caught this on the Channel 10 or 6 news last night!
Remember Bekah and the "Green" short video contest? Well it got some pretty heavy endorsement when the winners were announced yesterday at a press conference with Mayor Cicilini and Congressman Patrick Kennedy.

This is from the ProJo:Winning video urges individuals to help environment
One after another, 53 Rhode Islanders tell a camera that they know they should do something about the environment, but what difference would it make if they act alone? What good would it do? What can one person do?
A 4-minute video cuts all of those comments together and shows that if people act together, they can make a difference. The video, shot by a Rhode Island based independent film group called elBOW dEEp mEDIA, was named the winner of "The RIght Way Great Green Shoot Off of 2007", a project to create short videos promoting Rhode Island's sustainable living movement.
The video is to be shown as a trailer before movies at the Feinstein IMAX theater in Providence. It will be displayed at the all-day “Sustainable Living Festival & Clean Energy Expo that will be held this Saturday at the Nickerson Community Center’s Camp Hamilton in western Coventry. And it should be available for viewing soon at
www.apeiron.org, the Web site of The Apeiron Institute for Environmental Living, which sponsored the video contest [along with the RI Film Collaborative] and Saturday’s festival.
Bradley Grove Hyson, Executive Director of Aperion, said the video brought tears to his eyes. The video production company is owned by Kristen Killilea, Jeff Hodge and Jason Miller, all in their 20's, who met at CCRI and work together on short films, commercials and music videos.
[And who introduced themselves at the last RIFC networking meeting]
