The climate crisis is upon us with a new sense of urgency, as WE ADD UP launches the ‘World’s Biggest Green Sweepstakes,’ geared to create awareness and action for climate change. With the recent passing of the American Clean Energy and Security Act by the House of Representatives and international climate talks in Copenhagen this December, many see an opportunity for the U.S. to act as a global leader in clean energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In the midst of this crucial time, WE ADD UP kicks off the Climate Action Giveaway; a virtual Web campaign to harvest awareness and action around global warming throughout the nation, and drive home that America could in fact be a world leader in forging these vital agreements.
You can visit WE ADD UP’s Giveaway and join the sweepstakes! Once you sign up, you will automatically be entered for a chance to win exciting green prizes. WE ADD UP’s goal is to get 1 million people learning about climate solutions and participating in simple actions in order to help create a tipping point in public engagement necessary to forge real solutions in the coming months.
Each week, participants will be sent an email with a suggestion of such an action they can take, whether it be e-faxing their Senator to support strong US climate legislation or participating in 350.org viral photo activism about COP15 in Copenhagen, one action and a few minutes is all it takes. Non-profit partners 1Sky.org and 350.org are helping direct the actions participants are invited to take.
The message is simple: Take action, Make history, Win prizes. The Climate Action Giveaway is the biggest green sweepstakes in the history of environmental causes, with over 230 winners to be chosen. This program targets everyday consumers and Facebook and Twitter users to drive the program’s message virally, online, and within their own communities.
With an expectation to gain strong influencers, WE ADD UP is confident that this initiative will increase the momentum needed to make a real difference in wide-ranging middle-American communities.
Modern Eco Homes is honored to be an active participant in the Climate Action Giveaway! A random drawing for the prizes will take place on December 7, 2009, when the United Nations gathers in Copenhagen for the COP15 Climate Change Conference. So head on over and get involved!
