Be Idle Free Video Contest “Controversy”

by Mary-Ann Thurber on 09/03/2010

We’ve all been told idling cars is bad for the environment.  There is even a Be Idle Free Video Contest for youth ages 7 to 18 in the Edmonton Capital region.  The contest challenges youth to make a video about why people shouldn’t idle their cars.
Interestingly enough, this contest sparked the interest of an Edmontonian with a different view point.  He made a video about why idling is good.

If you feel differently, make a video explaining why, and enter the contest at: www.edmonton.ca/beidlefree
Or if you have a child age 7 to 18 – challenge them to enter the contest.  There are great prizes to be won!

If you feel differently (and you’re between the ages of 7-18), make a video explaining why, and enter the contest at: www.edmonton.ca/beidlefree

If you’re not within the age category, tell your children, students, nieces and nephews about it – and challenge them to enter the contest.  There are great prizes to be won!
