The National Geographic is holding a contest for 4th and 5th graders to create programs and awareness campaigns that raise awareness of the human footprint on this planet and hopefully increase participation in programs that reduce waste, conserve energy, and protect our environments.
Find Your Footprint
Let's Get On the Same Electronic Page
The contest is called Find Your Footprint. Already there are six finalists. Please take a moment to view these videos and cast your vote. Forward the link on to your friends and ask them to vote and forward as well. Voting ends March 16th.
All the entries are meritorious. Many shared themes and every one includes simple action plans. As an user in the on-line world, promoter of all things Social Media, I cast my vote for the "Canceling Catalogs" action plan. I am looking at this from a Green Business perspective.
The business use of paper and water, I am sure is wanton. Being competitive in business means sometimes pulling out all the stops, and "buying eyes" for your product. This includes blanket advertisements, such as a catalog promotions, that force product lines into the market. This practice must come to an end for it is not sustainable and produces too much waste of natural resource and causes too much harm to the environment. And there is now plenty of alternative tools and methods for accomplishing the same goal.
