DoSomething.org Presents ‘Increase Your Green’
Do you or your kids want to make a difference in schools? Well, here is your chance. HP and DoSomething.org are teaming up to bring to you a national campaign called Increase Your Green. This program is urging all students, parents, teachers to take action and reduce the environmental impact of their schools. In the process, your school could win $5,000 and some HP laptops that have green technologies. Nick Cannon is the spokesperson for this campaign. Lets here what he has to say about Increase Your Green:
Though I am not a huge fan of Nick Cannon, it’s really great to see these organizations trying to connect with our kids to get the word out about going green. Their site provides some great idea sin which schools can go green, ranging from greening up events to saving energy in our schools. A few I mention here on my site are saving computer energy and using natural cleaners
How to Submit a Project?
To enter this contest:
- Setup a project around a school.
- Submit a proposal to the site I mentioned above.
- Submit more details about the final project by April 22nd.
I think regardless of who wins this contest, all schools need to take measure to make sure they are going green. It’s important to get our kids involved learning about ways they can not only make their schools more green, but also in their daily lives.

GreenSmart Neogreene Giveaway
It’s time to ditch Neoprene and get a more environmentally friendly product like GreenSmart’s Neogreene. This new product provides the same great stretchy material that neoprene provides, without all the dangerous chemicals. What’s even better is that GreenSmart is offering a set of their products to one of my readers.
GreenSmart’s primary goal with all of their products and materials is to use what they call eco-process, striving to be as close to eco-friendly as possible. It started with the use of their rPET material, a plastic that is constructed of recycled PET plastic. The introduction of Neogreene came just earlier this year in hopes to replace the not so environmentally friendly neoprene. Instead of using adhesives that contain dangerous chemicals, their product uses water based solvents. Not only is 25% less energy and petroleum need to product neogreene, but it also contains no VOCs. It doesn’t stop there though, EcoSmart also donates 10% of their profits to several environmental organizations including the World Wildlife Fund.
Contest
GreenSmart started this past summer by making laptop and water bottle sleeves using neogreene. They haven’t stopped there. They just released their line of food and beverage neogreene products it makes it easy to carry your lunch or those ever so fragile wine bottles. Now it’s your chance to win your choice of a a neogreene wine carrier and lunch bag valued at approximately $50. Both come in 4 great colors: Licorice, Blue Ice, Tangerine and Eggplant.
Lunch Bags
