Yesterday, SunChips and National Geographic announced the 10 finalists competing for five $20,000 grants to turn their “green” ideas into reality as part of Green Effect, a national initiative Dave Philips, our chief blogger, wrote about a couple of months ago.
Green Effect kicked-off on Earth Day, when SunChips and National Geographic invited consumers across the country to submit their ideas on how to make their communities greener. Consumers responded with 2,500 ideas, ranging from re-treeing neighborhoods to creating composting programs.
Now, it’s time for all you green enthusiasts to read the 10 finalists’ ideas and vote for your favorite. The finalist who gets the most votes from consumers will win one of the $20,000 grants, and our panel of environmental experts and champions, including Academy Award winner Edward Norton, will select the other four winners from the remaining finalists.
You have until July 20 to vote for your favorite “green” idea. So go to the Green Effect Web site, check out the 10 finalists and vote now! And be sure to check back here July 22 to find out who won!
