Deadline: 16-Nov-22
The Trust for Sustainable Living (TSL) is partnering with ZooLab for the 2022 International Sustainability Challenge Video competition ‘My Local Sustainability Challenges’. TSL and ZooLab are inviting you to become global news reporters and share the local challenges being faced where you live.
Sustainability is a global issue, but many problems (and their solutions!) are locally focused. TSL wants you to connect with your local environment to investigate a sustainability challenge in your area or region, tell TSL the impacts it is having and if there are any solutions being actioned to address the problem, or what your suggested solutions might be!
In no more than 3 minutes, your video should:
- Introduce yourself and your location/area.
- Identify the sustainability challenge being faced.
- Explore the impacts.
- Investigate solutions being actioned or suggest your own!
The video should focus on ‘My local sustainability challenges’ and should address the 4 key points above, however the style and presentation of the video and information can be determined by the participant, TSL welcomes both film and animated entries.
TSL has purposely left the topic as broad as possible to allow the exploration of a variety of local issues and solutions across the globe, however you may wish to consider some of the topics below as a starting point.
Possible Topics
- Local wildlife loss.
- Pollution (air, water or land).
- Climate change (eg drought, flooding etc).
