Go Green! Contest

July 21, by Alissa. 1 Comment

gogreen.jpgOK, crafters: Let’s make sure the crafting world is represented in the “Go Green!” Contest presented by Instructables, Popular Science and TreeHugger.

An overview of the contest: “We want to know how you’re reducing your environmental footprint, and hopefully saving some cash in the process! Are you modding your gear, simplifying your life, or building something awesome? Tell us what you’re doing to go green, and teach us how- share what you know! … You can reuse vintage floppies, make your own cloth grocery bags, build some recycled modular shelving, a sun jar, a solar heater, or a wind generator. Move onto solar energy, worm compost, or even ditch your car for an electric bike!”

Submit photos and a detailed tutorial (an “Instructable” ) by August 17. This contest offers some great prizes, including the grand prize of a hip hybrid commuter bicycle. So, go green and go craft!

    I started an Earth club at my school last year. I started it because I’ve been a Girl Scout for thirteen years, those years have instilled in me a need to find ways to give back at all times. I’ve always felt strongly about recycling and reducing my carbon footprint but after my mother, a photographer, stated taking photos of beach trash from around the world, it’s become an obsession.

    I never realized so many of my peers felt the same way. Since the conception of the club we’ve been working on finding feasible ways to make our high school Earth friendly. We’ve been working on a way to recycle paper in all the classrooms, therefore making even the most reticent student a conscious recycler. We collected cardboard boxes from numerous sources, decorated them in our own personal styles (using earth friendly paint of course!) and have just now started to impliment the concept.

    I’m truly proud of my school!
