Posted on Mar 25 2009
In anticipation of Earth Day, the Environmental Protection Agency launched yesterday an interactive video and photo project asking the public to share the ways they enjoy and protect their environment.
These projects are part of EPA’s multi-event celebration of Earth Month and of EPA’s 39 year history—which will highlight the agency’s renewed commitment to protecting human health and the environment.
The EPA is asking filmmakers and photographers around the world to submit their own videos and photos documenting what steps they take to protect the water they drink, the air they breathe and the overall environmental health of their communities.
Participants can submit their video entries to the EPA’s Earth Day Video Project group on YouTube. Photo entries should be submitted via Flickr.
Categories in the video project are:
* Reducing your carbon footprint
* Conserving and protecting water
* Protecting the environment
* Reduce, reuse, recycle
Categories in the photo project are:
* People and the environment
* The beauty of nature
* Wildlife
EPA officials will select videos and photos to feature on the website throughout April. The agency will accept videos and photos from today through the end of April. [B][I](EPA)[/I][/B]
