My Date With Windex + CW Green Your World Wrap Up

I recently finished a national contest hosted by the CW Network and SC Johnson called GREEN YOUR WORLD where 4 filmmakers were picked to submit weekly vlogs for an entire month about eco-initiatives going on in their city. I'm grateful I had the chance to participate in this contest to show how progressive, green, and eco-cool Milwaukee really can be.

The other vloggers (video blogs) chose different ways to interpret the assignment but I chose to dive straight into the whats-up-now green activity in Milwaukee. Films 1-4 were a bit of green-investigative journalism around Milwaukee ranging from reports on Urban Farms and Green Business to Recycling to Green Engineering at MSOE. Film #5, which was optional, was just a fun way to end the series. I'm not sure if it will be posted on the contest website so I'll just post it here and below in the YouTube box right down there. Holler.

Below the film are links to press we received which I feel is important because it shows how eager media outlets are for forward thinking, green news. And to have a chance to rep Milwaukee rocks! There are also links to learn more about the contest. The soundtrack to the film is an instrumental version of ROLLING STONE POSTER by SAM WINTERS. Peep his work here and here.

Also, the contest was sponsored by Wisconsin's own SC Johnson so big up to them. Check how GREEN they are here.
