Run amok for the environment
Advertiser Staff and News Services
In this music video, rebellious students run amok through an urban landscape, while Swedish dance-music notable (and Ministry of Sound affiliate) Eric Prydz' remix of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" provides an urgent backdrop. Another harbinger of the apocalypse? Hardly. These kids sneak into apartments, then put their bricks in toilet tanks to conserve water, turn down thermostats and install energy-saving light bulbs. Everybody's doing it!
To see the video, search "proper education" at www.youtube.com.

CULTURAL EXCHANGE
DANCERS FROM CHINA WILL SHOW THEIR STEPS
Dance is another thing that makes the world go 'round, it seems, because a group of dance schools from China is back for another cultural exchange with Honolulu Dance Theatre. The Chinese dance program, sprinkled with hula and modern selections performed by their hosts, will be staged free at 6 p.m. today at Ala Moana Center and 6 p.m. Wednesday at Mission Memorial Auditorium.
