Recycling Contest Underway For Teens

Does your high school student have a passion for recycling and the environment?

Through Oct. 30, rePLANET is sponsoring a student video challenge to increase recycling awareness among California youth. The contest asks the state’s high school groups to show their “Recycle Style” in a 1 to 3 minute video highlighting why recycling is important and how it benefits the community.
 
The winner will be announced on Nov.15, when people across the United States celebrate America Recycles Day. The winning group will receive a $500 Visa gift card and their video will be featured on the rePLANET website.
 
“Today's high school students are tomorrow's leaders. Offering them opportunities to incorporate healthy habits and environmental stewardship today will encourage them to take responsibility for a world that will soon be under their guardianship,” said Matt Millhiser, rePLANET director of marketing.
 
The contest rules are simple:

• Videos must be uploaded to Youtube.com and submitted through www.replanetusa.com between October 1, 2011 and November 1, 2011.
• The video must be 1 to 3 minutes long.
• All participants must be in grades 9-12 during the 2011/2012 school year.
• Submissions must be from a California high school student group, club, sports team or church youth group.
