LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla., Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ — JustDoOne.org, the online
community for sustainable living, today issued a global call for personal
green solutions. The Just Do One organization is collecting the best ideas
for more sustainable living, summarized in three-minute YouTube-style videos,
and sharing them free with the interested community worldwide. The best video
entry, as judged by an expert panel, wins a $5,000 cash prize.

“Three years ago when Living Green: A Practical Guide was first published,
the sustainability movement was just gaining momentum,” said Greg Horn,
best-selling author and founder/sponsor of JustDoOne.org. “There was a lot of
new awareness and concern, but not much on practical solutions. Now people
realize that the stakes are enormous, and they want to do something positive.
Nobody’s perfect, but we have to get past the angst and anger over the scope
of the problem, and get started with solutions on the scale of individual
action.”

For anyone wondering: “What can I do?” JustDoOne.org has a wealth of
easily actionable ideas, from the people who know best — the sustainable
living community. “One person’s actions can make a difference,” said Douglas
Horn
, independent film-maker and collaborator on the project, “and one
person’s idea for greener living, told in a compelling video, might inspire
hundreds or even thousands of others. We quickly realized that the only way
to get the best thinking and make a real difference quickly was to open up the
doors to the entire community.”

“We have created an active community on JustDoOne.org, sharing the best
ideas from around the country and around the world about changes people are
making to help the environment and live more sustainability,” noted Tom
Foerstel
of Foerstel Design, co-founder on the project with Greg Horn and
fellow Foerstel associate, Tom Donahoe. “We believe that great ideas are
contagious and it doesn’t matter if you shoot them on a video camera or a cell
phone or animate them in Flash. JustDoOne.org helps by giving you information
resources and links to music, graphics, and images you can use to tell your
story.”

Video entries up to three minutes in length are being accepted from
January 1 to March 1, 2009. Winners will be announced April 1, 2009 in time
for media coverage leading up to Earth Day.
