TSL in partnership with ZooLab invites applications for the TSL Sustainability Challenge Video Competition in the UK in 2022 with the theme ‘My Local Sustainability Challenges.’
Sustainability is a global issue, but many problems (and their solutions!) are locally focused. TSL wants you to connect with your local environment to investigate a sustainability challenge in your area or region, talk about the impacts it is having and if there are any solutions being actioned to address the problem, or what your suggested solutions might be!
The video should focus on ‘My local sustainability challenges’ and should address the 4 key points above, however the style and presentation of the video and information can be determined by the participant. TSL welcomes both film and animated entries.
Notably, TSL has purposely left the topic as broad as possible to allow the exploration of a variety of local issues and solutions across the globe, however you may wish to consider some of the topics below as a starting point.
Possible Topics:
- Local wildlife loss
- Pollution (air, water or land)
- Climate change (e.g. drought, flooding, etc.)
- Lack of sustainable shopping choices
- Loss or lack of green community space
- Recycling
- Sustainability education
