Project Blue Sky
March 25th, 2009Inspired by athletes, driven by students, Project Blue Sky is a community-based grass-roots initiative. With the upcoming Vancouver games in mind, our team at the Masters of Digital Media program has been developing an online widget that will reside on a social network, specially created for the project. The social network encourages enviro-conscious teens, young adults and athletes to blog, upload photos and videos, and share their stories with the world. The widget will take peoples saved kilometers and aggregate them.
WHY?????
With less than a year before the world visits Vancouver to celebrate the Winter Games, Project Blue Sky encourages everyone in the province to work together to reduce the amount of carbons emitted using kilometers as our common metric.
Every little bit helps, and if everyone in BC contributes even just 5 car-free km each week, we can accumulate 1 000 000 000 km! That’s our goal.
Contribute to the goal creatively by turning off lights at home, using energy-saving bulbs or turning down your heat or air conditioning. We’ll be tracking the total contributions everyone makes so we can all be kept up to date on our progress. Remember, the sky’s the limit.
Send us your kilometers, and share your stories with the world: upload a video, share pics of you in action and post your stories. Let’s team up and keep our climate-friendly province, well – friendly.
Below you can input your kilometers and help reach our goal!
The great thing about the widget is that the widget can be shared across 80 social networks! Facebook, MySpace, iGoogle, Friendster, Hi5 and many many more! Simply click Get & Share at the bottom of the widget and you will be able to post the widget to your personal profile on many social networks!
