From the US, UK, Germany, Malta, Turkey, and China, animation and live-action shorts for kids who care about our planet.

Join Max as he shows his favorite outdoor place and explains how his eco group can help save energy and protect the world from climate change.

Juror comments: I love how the star of this short film is a boy who is happy to help nature in every way that he knows how.

The film follows seven-year-old Max who loves to go to Crook Peak with his family to hike, play in the pond and look out across the farmlands that, incidentally, look like pieces of bologna scattered about the countryside. I especially like that Max belongs to a school eco group that goes around his school turning off lights and laptops to save energy.

The format for this short film is quite elegant; initially focusing on the child, then their place in gorgeous natural environments. From this establishing point, the tough topic of saving energy arises. Max busies himself in all kinds of projects that lower his carbon footprint, which is what makes this short film uplifting and helpful for all people to take a look at how their behavior could so beautifully change the course of climate change over time.

I give this 5 out 5 stars and recommend it for ages 4 to 18. By Nancy Kenney KIDS FIRST!
