After the sexiest ever video, Eric turns green

He is famed for a pop track showing an aerobics workout which was voted the sexiest video of all time.

But now Eric Prydz is turning his talents to the environment, with a film about schoolchildren on a London estate picking up bricks and breaking into flats.

It looks like they are about to do some mischief but it turns out they are green vigilantes who go into houses to put in energy efficient light bulbs. They also turn appliances off stand-by and put bricks in toilet cisterns so less water is used.

It ends with the message: 'You don't need an education to save the planet.' The dance track, called Proper Education, is a remix of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall and is the first time the group has given permission for a sample of its work.

It is the Swedish dance producer's followup to his video for the No.1 hit Call On Me. Of the new video, Prydz said: 'I'd been reading so much in the press about global warming recently, I felt it would be great to try and empower people to do something about it.'

He has consulted climate change campaigners Global Cool - www.global - cool.com - to make the release of Proper Education carbon neutral.
