Calling All Green Families!

Do you know a family that has worked together on a project that helps the environment? FamilyFun Magazine wants to hear from you! Maybe the family you know started a recycling program in their school or turned a vacant lot into a community garden. You can nominate them for the 2009 FamilyFun Volunteers Contest: Green Edition and tell FamilyFun all about it. Five families chosen by the editors and HandsOn Network will each win $5,000 for the nonprofit of their choice, courtesy of The Walt Disney Company. FamilyFun also wants to hear about families' best, most creative and most successful Green Tips: simple ways families have changed their lives to reduce their impact on the planet, such as switching to reusable lunch containers or starting a "walking school bus" to get kids to school.

The 25 families whose green tips are chosen for publication will each receive $100. Go to http://familyfun.go.com/parenting/learn/activities/feature/volunteers-contest/ for official rules and submission instructions. The deadline is November 30, 2008.
