Local Action Challenge - do it in your city!

This is just a quick note introducing the Local Action Challenge, a local contest that encourages people in Houston, TX to think global, act local… and win prizes doing it!

SustainLane is heading up the Local Action Challenge in partnership with Hopenhagen, an international movement to drive action on climate change at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen this December.

Cities across the country – like Houston, TX – have sent in their top-ten lists of actions they’d like residents to take in order to combat climate change and otherwise care for the planet right in their own communities.

Residents who take their cities’ challenge, complete tasks on the list and upload photos of themselves doing so. They are then entered into weekly drawings to win prizes donated by green business sponsors.

Here’s how to play:

1. Go to www.SustainLane.com/hopenhagen
2. Choose your city.
3. Choose a challenge.
4. Take a photo of yourself in action.
5. Upload it.
6. Win a prize.
7. Repeat.
