Win $5,000 Cash to Live Greener — Deadline Today!

By Susan Seliger

I have found the simplest, sweetest, no-strings-attached contest for cash I’ve seen in a very long time. You don’t have to play any mind-numbing games, write any clever slogans, take photos, shoot videos, go places you don’t want to go, stay in hotels you wish you hadn’t. You just fill out your name – you can handle that right?

The sponsors of the Live Better, Live Greener sweepstakes, Palmolive® pure + clear™ and iVillage, will write you a check for $5,000 that you can spend on either an eco-vacation for two (you get to pick ALL the particulars) or on green nursery products (move over, Michelle, you’re not the only one who’ll be gardening). Basically that means they are handing over five large with no strings attached. If that isn’t worth a trip over to the iVillage site to fill out your name, I don’t know what is. You can enter once a day, each day until the contest is over on April 30, 2009.
