Short video promoting the Green Team, an environmental charity which works with young people to restore and conserve wild places. The Green Team is a natural resource conservation group based in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland consisting entirely of volunteers who give up their time, volunteering for the conservation and sustainability of our wild places in and around the Lothians which includes the areas around Edinburgh, Midlothian and East Lothian. The groups main body of volunteering is by young people, aged 14-25 who come along on various day and weekend projects going green green to save the environment through volunteer work who learn about the natural heritage, environmental issues as well as the importance of protecting our environment and recycling. Since 1995, a total of over 1700 young people have worked with the Green Team within the United Kingdom improving their local area with one of the conservation organizations inviting conservation for kids where young people to carry out a community service for their area. There are also offers of conservation jobs and conservation careers with the Green Team. The Green Team wildlife conservation work projects are highly practical, full of fun and teamwork, conservation efforts aiming to teach environment protection; don't believe me then keep reading on. The environmental protection projects typically include activities such as nature walks, bird watching, learning to use tools in safety and using natural resources to create artwork, learning how to live green. Joining the Green Team gives you the chance to gain some experience working with a conservation and environment organization meeting new people and above all to have fun. Each day costs £10 per person which also includes mini bus transport a a mug of hot chocolate and even some roasted marshmallows for the green conservative. In addition to the day projects, the Green Team also run green conservation weekend residential projects where volunteers stay in a hostel or temporary accommodation for the evening.

I had joined the Green Team myself in 2006 so had many prior experiences of volunteering with the team on their weekend and day projects. I really enjoyed making this video as I had more creative control over the look of the final piece and because of it's topic in the outdoors which is a passion of my own. I entered the film into the annual Edinburgh Cine and Video Society competition and won some awards for Best Overall Film with the Lizar's Trophy, Best use of Editing with the Reg Carden Scissors and also the Bill Walker Trophy for best use of sound. It's also been shortlisted in the Source magazine, a young people's magazine short film competition with the finalists announced at the Glasgow Film Theatre in October, 2010.
