PAC's Green Effect Grant Proposal

From the Green Effect/National Geographic website:

SunChips and National Geographic have joined forces to create the Green Effect, an eco-initiative that moves individuals to spark a green movement in their communities.

Green Effect asked Americans to submit original, Earth-saving ideas for a chance to earn incredible prizes. In response, we received nearly 2,000 innovative and inspiring ideas.

PAC’s Go Green! ¡Viva Verde! Committee has submitted a grant to be considered for this eco-initiative. Please take a moment to visit the website at the link provided below and submit your “rating” recommendation. According to Anna CohenMiller, Chair, Energy Conservation/Clean Air Subcommittee for the Go Green! ¡Viva Verde! Committee: Right now the way it works is that you can "rate" submissions, but "voting" won't begin until July 7th when the judges will place 10 entries as their favorites online. But by increasing the rating of our submission, it will then help move it towards the "Most Popular" link, which would help with its noticeability.

"Small Steps on Bike Pedals"

(back to the website) On July 7, 2009, we will reveal our ten finalists and allow YOU to begin voting for your favorite idea. Your votes will determine one of the winners, and a panel of esteemed judges will select four others. Each winner will be awarded a $20,000 grant and the opportunity to share their projects with environmental leaders in Washington, D.C. They will also be profiled in National Geographic magazine.

Please join me in thanking everyone involved in putting the grant together in a timely fashion!
