We want to share our vision, process, and the impact of our program from various perspectives, through telling stories of individual people. We have the people and are looking for someone who can interview and/or follow people and make a short, compelling film/video profiles. We have sample videos to share with you!
We'd like to focus on featuring a couple of workplace coordinators first, as we're trying to recruit more workplaces to a program that launches in March/April; following that, we'll focus on individual program participants.
So, as usual, we would like the product - or at least to get started - ASAP!
Here are a style we like, though the subject isn't quite the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-GvVQXhHNg and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9QdVvFlGVM. However, even a simple interview can be very effective in showing others that people just like them have gotten their workplace involved in our annual Challenge.
Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!

About Green Streets Initiative

Mission Statement
Green Streets' mission is to promote healthy and environmentally sustainable transportation practices, thereby making happier, safer, and more livable communities. Our goal is to make our organization sustainable, to deepen our penetration in the Boston area, and to be able to seamlessly and easily spread our programs to other cities.
Description
Green Streets' signature event is a monthly car-free day called Walk/Ride Days, a recurring celebration of sustainable transportation.
Walk/Ride Days take place on the last Friday of every month, year round, and challenge people individually, and as members of workplaces, schools, and communities, to meet their transportation needs by walking, biking, or using public transportation. Participants are rewarded with in-house incentives (at schools and workplaces), online (by Green Streets), and in the community (by a network of local businesses). By combining specific and easily achieved goals, gentle peer pressure, and a sense of competition and fun, Walk/Ride Days give people positive experiences that lead to immediate and long-term behavior changes.
Walk/Ride Days involve a broad cross section of the population. In the Greater Boston area, more than 160 businesses, community governments, schools, and other groups participate.
On Walk/Ride Days, the number of commuters choosing sustainable transportation increases substantially. Walkers increased by 52%, cyclists by 34%, subway/train riders by 3%, bus riders by 14%, and carpooling by 6% (Tufts Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning study, April 2011).
