Calling all YouTube fanatics! If you want to take a break from posting movies of your cat, use that camera to generate some cash and support an environmental cause.

The message is simple: Consumers use stuff. Every day, every place, all the time. According to the EPA, reducing and reusing “Is the single most effective way of reducing environmental impacts associated with acquiring goods and disposing of waste.”
But what effect does this stuff have on your environment, your community and your planet? That is exactly the question the EPA wants the public to answer.
Make a video that inspires your community, helps educate the public and most importantly, get’s people up and moving! Topics you can cover include:
- Buying Green
- Recycling
- Reducing Your Consumption
- Composting
