Climate Culture

The winners of America's Greenest Campus 2009 are:

The University of Maryland
with 2,257 registered participants, wins $5,000!
Rio Salado College
with 4.4% reduced CO₂ per person, wins $5,000!

These schools have demonstrated an enormous desire on the part of their students, faculty and staff to conquer the climate crisis and make smarter decisions around energy use in their daily lives.

AGC 2009 was just the beginning. We have a long way to go before our culture is ready for a permanent solution to the climate crisis. We are going to expand our efforts aggressively in 2010 to more than double the positive impact of this contest on America's campuses. If you'd like to be a part of the solution and help create the next contest, please contact adam@climateculture.com.

Please continue to use Climate Culture to better manage your carbon footprint and make smarter decisions. There are some exciting changes to the site coming soon that will help you even more to make smarter choices.

The SmartPower Energy Smart Ad Challenge winner will be announced on December 5, 2009 after the judges have reviewed and discussed all submissions. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much!

Void where prohibited.

TO ENTER: Sign up for the Climate Culture Web Site at www.climateculture.com or www.AmericasGreenestCampus.com using your ".edu" address. Use of your ".edu" address will automatically place you in your college's network and include any carbon reductions you earn in your college's total reductions. You reduce your footprint in the "Reduction Center" on www.climateculture.com. All reductions that accrue prior to Monday, October 5, 2009 at 12:00:00am EDT will count towards a college's ranking. Any reductions that accrue after this time will not be eligible under any circumstances to count towards a college's ranking. All reductions that count towards a college's ranking are on the honor system. However, the Operator may invalidate any individual or entire school's reductions in its sole and absolute discretion if the Operator has reason to believe the reductions attributed to an individual or school were obtained in a manner that impugns the integrity of the Contest. All such decisions made by the Operator are final. Any school seeking to compete for the $5,000 prize for greatest percentage of carbon emissions reductions must have three hundred (300) participants by contest end.
