A new message, made entirely of consumer goods, has been launched as part of a grass-roots campaign for the Maison du développement durable. The Maison will be built in Montreal at the corner of Sainte-Catherine and Clark, will seek LEED Platinum certification, and will be one of the most ecologically advanced buildings in Canada. Soon it will become a place for reflection, education, and innovation on sustainable development.

This idea of a meeting of minds was at the centre of the concept, developed by lg2. Using nothing but garbage, waste materials and recycled objects, André Dubois (lg2) and Éric Parizeau (director) built a magical universe where the world evolves in mysterious ways. The execution is an animation, created frame by frame, where people and animals embark on a journey to an extraordinary place where they view the very beginnings of the Maison du développement durable, represented by a growing tree.

True grass-roots projects are rare these days. We hope that people will be touched by the poetry of the message and will visit the website created by lg2, at www.maisondeveloppementdurable.org, and leave a message of hope in the virtual tree, which is programmed to grow for 100 years. This sustainable website for a sustainable centre will also collect donations from those who wish to build the future, without mortgaging it.

  • pas mal cool le video. Ça me rappel Dédé Fortin. Il aimait aussi utiliser des jouets dans ses videos. J'ai une copie de son video VHS de la chanson Dédé. Il a vendu cette rare copie pour aider à payer son billet d'autobus pour allez voir sa mère au Lac. J'ai levé ma main aussitôt sa proposition faites. Vendu! C'était lors d'un show au Quai des Brumes.91,92 par là. Avant la sorie du CD

  • Le premier video pour les Colocs mais pas retenu car la bande sonore a été ré-enrégistrée dans un autre studio pour le premier CD.Me souviens plus du nom du violoniste mais c'était pas le même qui joue sur le CD.

    Je suis un ex planteur du B.C. Je crois dans les actes plus que dans les paroles. Des actes comme la maison du developement durable.

    Je croyai que ce clip méritai au moins un commentaire sur 522 vues ;-)
