Your task is to create your own video that explains what a carbon offset is.



You will work in teams of 4. Each team should have expertise in business communications, on-screen talent, video shooting, video editting, and of course marketing.



Your video can not be any longer than 2 minutes.



None of the content of your video can violate copyright. Be careful of content that you take from the web.



All videos will be shown in class. Let's call it our Carbon Offset Video Festival.



A peer review rubric will be used during the Carbon Offset Video Festival.



The best of our Carbon Offset videos will be submitted to the GreenLearning Video Festival.
