Big Green Dreams=Big Green Bucks We all have big dreams.  But do you have big green dreams?  Green Effect, launched by Sun Chips and National Geographic, is looking for inspiring environmental ideas that can ecologically revamp your community.  Five winners (individual or group) will win a $20,000 grant to be used to implement the winning idea. There still is time to submit your idea: the deadline is June 8, 2009. In a 100-250 word essay, explain how and whatyou would use the $20,000 to greenify your community. The online application recommends addressing each one of the following points: 1. How is it a small step that could make a big difference? 2. How will it impact your community? 3. How will it help the environment? 4. Explain your plan to implement your idea and use the prize funds  (Hint: They recommend pictures and video!)
