Does your college or university have what it takes to be named America’s Greenest Campus? Non-profit organization SmartPower is challenging college students across the country to reduce the carbon footprints of their students, faculty and staff – and the winners will receive up to $20,000 to further green their campuses.
From Climate Culture:
Think your school is green? Well, now it’s time to walk the walk! You have until October 5 to get as many people affiliated with your school to reduce their carbon footprints as much as they can!
We’ll keep track of the number of people participating on your campus and how much they reduce in the leaderboard below. We’ll announce the two winners – the school with the most participants and the school with the most carbon reductions per participant – in October. Winning schools will be eligible for some awesome prizes!
* $5,000 to the school with the most participants (students, alumni, faculty, staff)
* $5,000 to the school with the largest percentage of carbon emissions reduced
* $10,000 to the winner of the SmartPower Energy Smart Ad Challenge
So far, George Mason University is in the lead, with the University of Maryland at College Park close behind – but you’ve still got plenty of time to catch up! Check out the America’s Greenest Campus website to sign up and get more details, and score footprint-reducing tips at ClimateCulture.com.
