2008-04-22 11:17:46 - Green Living Instructional Video Content Now Available on Zipidee

In celebration of Earth Day, Zipidee, an eco-friendly online digital media marketplace, is highlighting educational video content to help viewers incorporate ‘green' into their everyday lives. Zipidee shoppers can download helpful tips on sustainable living from environmental activists, green builders, and other experts.

San Francisco-based Zipidee is green by the very nature of its business model. As an online digital

media marketplace for video, audio, and eBooks, it reduces the need to produce physical CDs, DVDs, and books. Digital distribution also eliminates the need for shipping materials and conserves fossil fuels used for transport, greatly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Each time a customer rents or purchases a digi-good instead of driving to the store or ordering by mail, they can reduce their carbon footprint by nearly 2 kilograms.

With rising concerns about global warming and the energy crisis sweeping the globe, people are starting to think about the environment and what they can do to reduce their impact. ‘Going Green' is not only a growing trend, but also a statement about your values. Companies across the country are adopting eco-friendly business practices to reduce their impact on the environment and show they care. At Zipidee, customers can access a variety of educational videos on green living and sustainable development for immediate rental or download.

Zipidee is the Internet's largest digital marketplace for PGC (prosumer generated content) educational, instructional, and special interest programming. As a strictly digital marketplace offering streaming or downloaded content, Zipidee bypasses packaging and shipping of physical media, offering shoppers an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional DVD and CD consumption.
