From our friends in the Institute for the Environment:



"You care about global warming and want to do something about it, even if you don't drive a hybrid or are more likely to order in a pizza than roast a tofu turkey. No matter where you are on the path toward a greener lifestyle, you can join the community of Chapel Hillians and Carrborites who are taking action for a better environment.

"UNC's Institute for the Environment has teamed up with the creators of the eco-networking site MakeMeSustainable.com to create a unique group for Chapel Hill/Carrboro and offer a full set of tools and tips to track and reduce your environmental impact. The site also allows you to share your success, network with other concerned individuals, check out sustainable businesses, and see the progress of our community's combined carbon reduction efforts.

"After you register, recruit your friends and family to sign up by November 24th and be eligible to win the grand prize; a $150 camping rental package from Townsend, Bertram and Company, a $100/shop local/ gift certificate*, a Sigg water bottle and a $15 gift card to the Global Cup Café/ Daily Grind - a prize worth nearly $300!
