Win $500 for Your 30-second Green Video

You are invited to send in a video, 30 seconds or less, that shows how you would make the environment better. The catch? Use only 3 words.

Green in 3 is sponsored by Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. One contest period ends this Friday, February 12th. But there are 3 (of course) periods in all. The deadlines for the last two are March 12th and April 9th. There will be at least 15 First Place winners receiving $500 each. So see Green in 3 for rules and suggestions, and get busy!

River Stories Contest

There are only a few more days left to enter this contest. Tom's of Maine is offering a car to those who are caring for their rivers and keeping them healthy. Send a video by October 31st to enter this River Stories Contest and win a Toyota Prius! It's nice that this company is working to offer environmentally-friendly products, and is also sponsoring the Rivers Awareness Partnership, providing the winner with a cool car for a thank-you gift.

Some of the videos already entered are really interesting, too. I was charmed by the riverkeeper of "The Living Blackwater and Nottoway Rivers" and moved by "49 Megawatts" (in photo at right). We know some of you have been working hard to protect the Catawba, Eno, Pee Dee, Saluda, and other Carolina rivers. Enter the contest and let everyone know about it!
