EPA hosting video competition to promote
recycling

Jan. 26 -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting a video competition to promote recycling. The video contest challenges filmmakers to produce short, creative videos
that highlight the "Three Rs" of individual consumption: reduce, reuse, and
recycle. The agency is accepting submissions for the contest, called "Our
Planet, Our Stuff, Our Choice," through Feb. 16.

Entries should be either 30 or 60 seconds in length. The video should creatively promote steps individuals and organizations can take to minimize negative environmental impacts within their communities on reducing and reusing,
recycling, composting and consumption and its effect on environmental footprint.

The winning submissions will be announced in April 2010 in time for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. Monetary awards will be given to the top three videos. Students, ages 13 to 18, are invited to participate in a separate category.
