apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That's what Sun Chips and National Geographic are asking in their Green Effect contest. They are giving away five $20,000 prizes to the people or groups who have the best ideas about greening their own community. Entries are already rolling in, and they're fun to watch/read through.

Wanna share your idea? Get all the info. here. Entries are due by 5pm EST on June 8. Then the finalists will be announced in early July.

Even if you don't feel like entering the contest, we're still curious about what you think your community really needs to be a greener place. Share with us in the comments!
