Thought for Food

Will told me cute is the new porn. Consider this triple X.

Please forward this video to anyone you think might like it. View counts matter! Thank you. (And watch for cameos by Tumblr’s own Mark & Andrea.)

This is my entry to the Climate Matters video contest: “Let’s Send a Message to the World!”

If I had 60 seconds with our next President, I would gather together all my friends, family, and neighbors, and this is what we’d say.

The video was shot mostly in my Brooklyn neighborhood. I walked around with my friends Jane and Andrea, going up to strangers who were out enjoying the gorgeous weather. I said:

“Hi, my name is Nora. I’m making a video message to the next President to ask him to take action on climate change. Will you say one line of the message?”

And to my surprise, 95% of people didn’t think I was totally crazy! They actually said: “Sure!” And: “What should I say?”

I was so touched that so many people were willing to lend their voices.

But the video wasn’t just shot in Brooklyn. Friends and family from across the country emailed me their video messages, too!

The Climate Matters judges will only look at the videos with most views, so PLEASE SEND THIS LINK TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT LIKE IT:

Unfortunately, I couldn’t put every line in the 60-second version, so I made a full-length version which can be found here.

A BIG THANK YOU to all who helped. I couldn’t have done it without…
