Enter to win $20,000 to green your neighborhood
June 4, 2009 at 8:00 am by Michelle SchenckSun Chips and National Geographic have teamed up to hear stories about why you want to make your neighborhood greener. The best part is, they are offering five winners $20,000 towards their community green idea! The five winners they chose will be featured in National Geographic and flown out to D.C. to discuss their ideas with environmental leaders. How cool is that? 
The contest isn’t too daunting either as they just request you to write a short essay between 100-250 words about your eco-idea and send it in! Easy peasey! If you are feeling an extra flair of creativity, you may also submit an optional video or pictures but it is not mandatory.
You have to hurry a bit, though, as the contest ends submissions on June 8th! So get your minds racking and think of some green ideas! Living in Florida surrounded by the ocean, urban travel, droughts, wildlife, etc., we can all come up with a zillion ideas! (P.S.-you can even comment on other people’s submission ideas. Be nice people, we are trying to bring the moohla to the Tampa Bay Area!)
So submit away and good luck! You may just be the next person to bring some green policy change to your community!
