Do Something -- Increase Your Green

Do Something is encouraging students to help make their schools more environmentally conscious. Participants must make concrete efforts towards reducing the environmental impact of their school during the eight week competition beginning October 13, 2008. All initiatives must be youth designed and led. A representative from each group must submit an online report of the school or club’s actions to save energy, reduce waste and raise awareness during the competition.

Middle and high schools are eligible to compete. Schools may win a first-place prize of a $1500 grant, banner, plaque and eco-friendly gift bags (up to thirty). Three $500 second place prizes will also be awarded. All winners will be featured on the Do Something website. Winners will be chosen based on the impact during the eight week competition. The main judging categories are: 1) energy saved, 2) garbage reduced, recycled and reused, 3) number of people involved/impacted, 4) innovative quality of actions and ideas.

Deadline: October 13, 2008

Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
