I got an email today and thought I would share it with our ‘green’ students out there.  The National Wildlife Federation’s Campus Ecology program is running a contest on college campuses across the country.  This would be a great chance for groups on campus to talk about what you are doing and have a chance to win some grants, prizes, and recognition! Here are some details:

ENTER AND WIN TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT!

Students are making a difference on campus around the country. Students raise awareness, put pressure on the administration and make a real difference in their communities. Tell the nation how you are making a difference on your campus and in your community.

Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming is the nation’s only competition recognizing colleges and universities for their efforts to solve global warming. And we’re looking for the best campus-based projects in clean energy, energy efficiency, transportation, habitat restoration, waste reduction and more.

YOU CAN ENTER TO WIN TWO WAYS

1. Write a 500-word essay describing your school’s efforts.
2. Create an original three-minute video about your project and upload it to http://www.gogreentube.com/.

Entries are due by November 30 for your chance to win:

• Grant Money
• Prizes
• National Publicity

Students, faculty and staff are eligible to win!

On a side note.

Speaking of Eco-Friendly students…the Interns at Ingenex blog almost daily about their experience in the digital world and tips for fellow students. It’s a great resource (and they are awesome students).  You can also follow them on twitter: @ecointernship.
