Brainwash ’em young.
Via CNS News:
The Environmental Protection Agency is co-sponsoring a “climate change video contest” that asks students, ages 11-14:” Why do you care about climate change?” And: “How are you reducing carbon pollution or preparing for the impacts of climate change?”
Students are advised to “be cool” and “be creative” in explaining “how climate change affects you, your family, friends, and community, now or in the future” — and what they are doing to “prepare for a changing climate.”
The Obama administration frequently uses video contests or “challenges” to advance its liberal viewpoint on a variety of issues, and this is no exception.
The climate-change videos may be up to two minutes long, and the top three winning entries will get prizes that can only be described as environmentally correct:
The first-place winner gets a solar-paneled backpack, which charges electronic devices; the second place prize is a “pulse jump rope” that generates enough energy to charge cell phones; and the third place prize is a “Soccket Soccer Ball,” which turns kinetic energy from play into electrical energy that can be used to power small devices.
The prizes were selected and purchased by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), which is co-sponsoring the video contest with the EPA.
NEEF says students should read its “facts” on climate change before getting started on their videos.
