Please help!

Scott and I spent last weekend making a video for our entry in The Green Awards contest. Not my idea of a relaxing weekend, but we wanted to make sure that Zero Waste had a voice in the competition. The contest is to win 25K to advance a green idea to the next level.

My big idea is to make Zero Waste Living mainstream, beyond this blog. I would like to:

-Make this blog a better website (with recipes, videos, and bulk map tabs)

-Create a fun and attractive presentation to show at schools, PTA’s, mother's groups, community centers, neighbourhood associations, green festivals...

-Shoot room by room how-to videos

-Build a bulk locator app!

Please vote for us (you can even vote once per day until March 27th).

Thanks!

Before you ask ... Our trash tally looks smaller on this video than the previous one by Yahoo, because I have compacted it into the wine glass ;)

Yahoo! video

This week, I give you more insight into our home with this Yahoo! video. Thank you Yahoo! for illustrating our efforts so beautifully.

Please refresh your browser if you get an error message (error messages are generated by connectivity issues) or visit http://vitality.yahoo.com/ for the video in larger format.

I welcome comments - but I also invite you to visit my blog archives and 'tips' page for more information on the steps we take to incorporate Zero Waste into our lives.

UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments and emails. As you can imagine, I have received an overwhelming amount of emails based this posting, so please do not be offended if I cannot personally answer each of them. That said, most of the questions have already been answered in the posts and tips sections. And - I plan on creating an FAQ document for those frequent questions that are...frequently asked. Thanks for all of your support!!!
