*Subject:* New EPA video contest: share your environmental justice stories!
Environmental justice means the fair treatment and meaningful
involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or
income with respect to environmental policies. The Faces of the
Grassroots contest is an opportunity to publicly exhibit creativity with
environmental justice stories, and connect with others working to raise
awareness of the movement.
Videos can focus on any environmental justice activity, issue, or topic.
Examples would be a music video about climate change, or a video
recording a successful environmental justice project that has made a
community a healthier and happier place to live.
Awards will be given to the winning submissions in each category. The
videos will also be featured on EPA’s Web site and may be used as public
service announcements.
Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, April 8, 2010.
EPA will announce winners in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
