Canada. (SANEPR.com) December 3, 2007 -- Calgary & Scottsdale – November 30, 2007 – Earth911.com, the nation’s official environmental network, and Quantum Shift TV, an innovative solution-oriented web broadcaster, have partnered to deliver actionable and educational content to the next wave of environmental stewards: students.

Earth911.com is an Action Partner for Quantum Shift's “Be the Change! Share the Story!” youth video contest, where students from across the U.S. and Canada can upload videos documenting the planning and implementation of social and environmental projects. The first prize for the contest is $50,000.

As part of this partnership, Earth911.com has uploaded over 50 videos to www.quantumshift.tv that serve as eco-friendly examples for contest participants. Quantum Shift has provided a player so that visitors to www.Earth911.com can also view these videos.

Earth911.com will also feature videos from the “Be the Change! Share the Story!” contest on its Web site as part of the www.students.Earth911.com site that will launch in January. This site will be co-branded with Quantum Shift and features content on recycling, reduction and reuse, in addition to topical issues including electronic waste and water conservation. The site will direct students back to the Quantum Shift Web site in order to enter the contest.

“Quantum Shift TV’s platform was designed with the needs of nonprofits and socially-responsible businesses like Earth911.com in mind,” said Leif Utne, VP Marketing at Quantum Shift TV. “Through this partnership and our affiliation with Earth911.com, we aim to help students be the change, and share their stories.”
