The Living Climate Change Video Challenge asked videographers to envision how climate change will impact our lives. What does a human-centered, sustainable future look like? What about the opposite?
The winners of the challenge have both been announced in two categories: under-18 and 18-and-over. Watch their productions below, and browse the rest of the entries, browse here.
We Make It: Spaghetti Bolognese by Andre Schöllgen won in the 18 and over category.
This is a video about what it can look like if we succeed in making our lives more sustainable by reducing the impact of climate change through changing our habits around food. We show how the future could look like if we start to change today. If we start to eat more local and seasonal food and less meat we will reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. In addition to this we believe that we need to pay more attention to nutrient loops in the future. In the urban gardens of the future there is a need for nutrients and by using local compost it is possible to create a local nutrient loop that is energy efficient and thus emits less greenhouse gases.Honorable Mention and Under 18 Winner after the jump.
Tuduyen Annie Nguyen's Buy Locally, Connect Locally received an honorable mention:
This video was based on a mobile application designed to encourage buying locally in my Intro to Digital Media class into a larger ecosystem in the future. My idea is buying locally helps you connect with others invested in supporting local economies and communities, which is beneficial, rewarding and ultimately a lifestyle we should all adopt. We can no longer afford to live as though our resources are here forever and we can no longer source unsustainable products from abroad. My video shows what if we could encourage people to foster local activities and support each other locally. There are many benefits and I believe that you can start small and I can show you how.
12-year-old Alec Steinhorn's Two and a Half Billion Ideas won in the 18-and-under category.
Hi, I'm Alec, a 12 year old 6th grader from the Willow School in Gladstone, New Jersey. I made this film to highlight the creativity and ingenuity of the child's mind. It is through the innovation and positive energy of children that solutions to Global Climate Change can be found. I created the soundtrack to this film to illuminate the complexity of the global crisis, juxtaposed to the ease of which children think. The underlying chords in the song are identical to the ones in "Twinkle, Twinkle," yet the harmonies and accompaniments form complex patterns and groupings quite apart from the simple melody. Two and a half billion children will prevail.
