Enter the Instructables Energy Efficiency Competition & Win a Mac Book Pro

Want to help improve energy efficiency, and win yourself a brand new 15″ MacBook Pro from Apple? Create an energy-saving Instructable and explain why or how your project saves energy – whether it’s a whole new invention or an improvement upon an existing product. Instructables and EarthJustice are teaming up to sponsor creative thinking on energy efficiency. Instructables is a web-based documentation platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others.

From Instructables:

Quick, what renewable-energy resource is cheap, perfectly clean, and available almost everywhere?
Energy efficiency.

Improving energy efficiency is the fastest, cheapest, and cleanest way to power our lives, so Instructables has teamed up with Earthjustice to help spread the news through their United States of Efficiency campaign. Even small changes in the efficiency standards for appliances, lights, and machines can create huge savings in electricity and natural gas – we can help fight global warming, create green jobs, and save scarce resources and money at the same time!

Five first prize winners will receive a Kill-a-Watt, and five runners-up will get an Instructables Robot t-shirt, patch and stickers. Check out the current submissions and communicate with your fellow inventors at the Instructables EarthJustice Contest page. You can also get more inspiration at the Instructables ‘Saving Energy’ page.

The contest started Thursday, March 26th and the entry deadline is May 6th, 2009. Be sure to read the official rules before getting started. Good luck!
