PAC Competes for "Green Effect" Initiative Grant

Help Palo Alto College earn a $20,000 grant sponsored by SunChips, PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division’s line of multigrain snacks, and National Geographic, in a Green Effect initiative!

More than 2,500 submissions nationwide were received by the sponsors to be considered for one of 5 grants being offered through the initiative, and PAC made the “Top 10” final list! Now we need your help in voting for our proposal, which is an on-campus bike sharing initiative. Voting begins today and ends July 20. The best part is that you can vote once a day until the deadline!

To vote, simply go to www.greeneffect.com and log in. Look for the PAC entry, entitled "Small Steps on Bike Pedals" — Go Green and Lean ¡Viva Verde! Bike Sharing Initiative

Green enthusiasts nationwide will choose one of the five winners by voting for their favorite green idea. A judging panel will choose the other four winners. Winners will be announced on July 22 at the website.

In this instance it’s safe to say: Vote Early and Vote Daily!
