One of the most influential ways to make a lasting impression is through visual aid. This is why my friends and I would like to make a documentary to promote awareness within our community. Awareness of what?
Awareness of our addiction to foreign oil and the pollution it creates. The resources we are abusing. The plastic bottles we consume that are now located in a trash can, or even worse, on the side of the road.
We will capture, on film, the problems caused by not recycling. The problems caused by using fossil fuels as a main energy source.

My communications class was given the task of doing 5 projects that would help others rather than ourselves. My partner and I came up with the idea of doing a documentary on recycled fashions. We plan to compare and contrast clothes that are home-made rather than mass produced, and hopefully make people more aware of problems like sweat shops and just how much they actually waste among other things.
Although we are looking forward and encorage everyone to do something like this, sometimes it's hard to find people who are willing to participate.

Inspired by the coincidence of Bhutan's first democratic elections with a US presidential election year, The Emerging Lens Initiative (TELI) provides adolescents in Bhutan and the United States with the opportunity to explore democracy and each others culture through self-produced videos. In both countries, video production workshops will partner with classroom teachers to empower adolescents with the ability to produce short videos which they will then use as the medium of exchange in this cross-cultural learning initiative.

The purpose of this project, initiated by a small group of conscientious teenagers, (Team Gaia), is to help other young voices, our own ages, affect change, by motivating, and educating people everywhere on the topic near and dear to our hearts: healthy eating. What we hope to achieve, is to get healthier school lunch menu items (featuring local farmers’ produce) into our Duval County schools in Florida, and to help educate other communities on how to do the same thing.
