Led by three women, the Save San Francisco Bay Association was instrumental in getting the Act passed, and laid the groundwork for future environmental movements.

  • KQED Climate Watch: Liz Keogh

    Bakersfield Resident Liz Keogh uses toilet paper to explain her theory of how PG and E smart meters may have overcharged residents. Keogh is very energy-conscious, and has installed skylights and low-energy light bulbs in every room. But her PG and E bill for summer of 2009 spiked about 40% higher than the previous five year average. Keogh thinks that may be because smart meters record the same number of kilowatts using a different, metaphorically "faster spinning" system. PG and E disputes that claim, although it does say some older electricity meters may possibly have been "slowing down" and not recording energy use as efficiently as the new smart meters.

  • We are The Quotidian

    Once in awhile, a non-commercial project like ourselves have to go all NPR on you and bring out the charity pledge drive pitch. After all, The Quotidian accepts no payments for the work we do and we have no advertising whatsoever in any of our content – which leaves much of our costs up to viewers like you. We're looking to raise at least $5,000 in the next 60 days so we can continue to do our good deeds and help nonprofits help themselves – nobody ever said lookin' good was a cheap exercise. Can you support us with even a small donation? To show our gratitude, we'll be giving away DVDs, T-shirts, stickers, posters and even Flip cameras (yes, those) as well as crediting you on either our Web site or in an upcoming film! kickstarter.com/projects/hsingyihkai/the-quotidian-tells-the-stories-of-people-finding About us: The Quotidian is an ongoing video documentary series that focuses on people doing good for their communities as well as those who are affected by their work. Stories range from an individual taking personal initiative to improve the well-being of homeless people in his neighborhood to a local business that donates a percentage of sales to charity, for example. We aim to tell stories in the developmental stage – whether it's someone starting an innovative social program or a nonprofit pushing for widespread community action. The individuals and organizations we highlight are able to use our produced pieces for their own publicity and fundraising purposes since everything is produced under Creative Commons Share-Alike license and organizations have been successful in using our films effectively for publicity and fundraising purposes.

  • Discovering Angel Island: The Story Behind the Poems

    From 1910 to 1940, tens of thousands of immigrants entered the United States through the West Coast's Angel Island Immigration Station. Located in San Francisco's north bay, not far from Alcatraz Island, the buildings were nearly forgotten and their history practically lost, until one day Alexander Weiss, a California State Park Ranger, re-discovered them in 1970. His chance discovery began the long journey to save the Immigration Station, and ultimately, to save the stories hidden within it, and to help us remember its sad, but important role in American history.

    A 2009 BAVC Producers Institute ProjectProject Director: Jennifer Gilomen & Sally Rubin http://deepdownfilm.org To keep up with our increasing demand for energy, humankind is mining the earth for natural resources and putting communities worldwide at risk. Through an intimate, human story, the documentary Deep Down tells the story of a town deep in the Appalachian mountains of eastern Kentucky, where coal is king. Through an integrated media campaign that includes a podcast series disseminated through Appalachian Voices' "Most Endangered Mountains" Google Earth collection, educational curriculum and community action kits, Deep Down will have a deep impact with a diverse audience. At the Producers Institute, co-directors Jennifer Gilomen and Sally Rubin designed and built a3D Virtual Mine game in Second Life in order to bring the experience of mountaintop removal mining to a new level. Playing this game in the metaverse is intended to empower disenfranchised communities that now live in the shadows of extractive industries.
