LIHU‘E — One lucky college student will find himself or herself the owner of a new iPad next month as winner of the first “Greenest Student College Challenge.” ThinkGreenLiveClean, an environmental news Website, launched the contest in August to showcase the most inventive and ingenious green ideas emerging from the nation’s college campuses.
Wyatt Taubman of Kaua‘i founded the website while still attending the University of San Diego, a press release states.
College students are being asked to make green resolutions for the new school year. A panel of judges will review the resolutions and award the student with the best idea a new iPad and matching case valued at more than $500. The winner’s name, college and green resolution will also be posted on the homepage of ThinkGreenLiveClean.
Entries will be judged on creativity of the green resolution and details about how the resolution will be fulfilled.
“Since our contest’s green resolutions can be viewed by anyone anywhere, the greenest student challenge is essentially a national brainstorming session with an iPad as an incentive,” Taubman said in a press release.
Students will be able to read what other students have written and will hopefully become inspired by all the great green ideas floating around, he said.
Contestants must enter by Oct. 18. The winner will be announced Nov. 1. Official rules are available at ThinkGreenLiveClean.com. No purchase is necessary to enter or win.
To enter become a fan of ThinkGreenLiveClean on Facebook, sign up for the ThinkGreenLiveClean newsletter, provide an active college e-mail and post a green resolution on the ThinkGreenLiveClean comment box. Resolutions must be 300 words or less.
Judges include Dr. Diana Nemergut, environmental studies professor, University of Colorado at Boulder; Dr. Michael Boudrias, environmental studies and marine science department chair, University of San Diego; Shanah Trevenna, student sustainibility coordinator, University of Hawai‘i; Devon Fisher, University of San Francisco master’s program and Think Green Live Clean writer; Kaelin McAtee, University of San Diego and Think Green Live Clean writer; and Taubman, founder, ThinkGreenLiveClean.
The iPad and matching cover are provided by Duke’s restaurants.
The Greenest Student College Challenge marks the first in a series of contests to be hosted by ThinkGreenLiveClean to run throughout the school year, Taubman said in the press release.
