What is the Kentucky Green Team Online Film Festival?
The Kentucky Green Team Online Film Festival is a new initiative designed to highlight sustainable environmental practices. During the summer of 2008, First Lady Jane Beshear asked Green Team members to send in their suggestions on how we can inspire, teach, and encourage others to take steps to improve our world’s environment. She was especially interested in ideas to involve the youngest generation of Kentuckians, who will inherit these problems if they are not addressed today. The winning submission, to host an online film festival in which Kentuckians could submit a film educating the public on energy conservation, was inspired by Syandene Evans, a freshman at Henry Clay High School in Lexington.
