Consume Less, Work Less: Student Videos

According to Alternatives Journal in Canada, Professor Charles Dobson of the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design "asked first year students to create a 30-second Public Service Announcement with the message: If you consume less, you can work less." To get an A in the course, students had to upload their video to YouTube and get over 10,000 hits. About half of the videos are getting As, and the message reached about 150,000 people, mainly youths.
