Want to be the hero at your local school? You can win a hybrid, energy-efficient school bus for your school – worth $200,000 – plus a scholarship for yourself or your favorite little scholar. All you have to do (if you are 13 or older) is write an essay under 500 words about how committed your elementary or high school is to going green. Talk about what your school has done, how it teaches the kids to think green and whatever it is doing to make the planet greener.
Teachers—here’s your lesson plan for a week. Get your students to come up with ideas for greening up the school, launch the project, and get everybody in the school to write an essay about it. That’ll increase your chances of winning your school a green bus. Value of the bus: $200,000. Value of the lesson to your kids: Priceless.
This amazing green contest is sponsored by IC Bus, LLC, in Warrenville, IL, which produces hybrid buses and says that every school bus keeps 36 cars off the road – imagine the pollution prevented.
Warm up your imagination – think green — click here and start writing to win: Deadline for essay submissions: April 30, 2009.
