Yesterday I had the chance to spend some time with the good folks at Peterborough Green-Up and learn about a great promotion they’re running for the month of March. Green-Up, the City of Peterborough and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment are teaming up to promote Zero Footprint. This is an initiative urging everyone to reduce emissions and downsize their carbon footprint. To raise awareness for this initiative they’re holding a contest and giving away some great prizes. The contest is called “1000 Acts of Green” and all you have to do is email the Green-Up team and tell them about your act of green and you’re in the contest. It’s easy and it’s free! Prizes include:
· An I-Pod
· $50 Galaxy Cinemas gift certificate
· $100 gift certificate to the Shish Kabob Hut
· $100 gift certificate to Rare Grill House
· $75 gift certificate to the Peterborough Green-Up store
Also, as a special for Newswatch viewers, if you enter within the next 24 hours you could also win a $50 gift certificate to Green Eyewear. Click here for details on Zero Footprint and be sure to tell Peterborough Green-Up what you plan to do this year to help the environment by sending in your pledge to countdown@greenup.on.ca and good luck! Oh…and if they reach 1000 acts, Donald and Thalia (from the Green-Up team) will plunge into the chilly waters of the Otonabee at the end of the month. So there’s a little extra motivation for you.
