SMU's annual GREEN-MINUTE VIDEO contest

Each fall, SMU's Sustainability Committee sponsors a Green-Minute Video contest which challenges students to produce a fun, one-minute video that encourages sustainable behavior on the Hilltop.

The rules for the "students only" contest are simple: give the mini-movie a "G" rating, keep it under a minute, and use just about anything that shoots video – including a phone. Movies should be submitted to sustainability@smu.edu in .mov, .mp4 or .wmv format.

Students may focus on any sustainability topic they choose, but the committee offers these suggestions as a starting point:

• Reducing your personal carbon footprint
• Using public transportation instead of driving
• Buying from green producers
• Turning off lights
• Printing fewer paper products
• Promoting sustainability research on campus

Any questions about the contest should be directed to Kevin L. Dilliard at kdilliar@smu.edu. The Sustainability Committee is a group of faculty, students and staff who promote sustainability and increased environmental awareness on campus.
