According to Sloan Barnett, the New York Times best-selling author behind Green Goes With Everything, our color of choice can even coordinate with red, white and blue. That’s why Barnett is asking you how you would green the First Family’s official residence.
Green the White House is a campaign to educate Obama’s staff on the importance of setting an example by making the casa blanca entirely green, from the light bulbs to the gardens. One suggestion: making the Rose Garden pesticide-free. Have a brighter idea than LEDs? Share it with American on GreentheWhiteHouse.com. You can submit your ideas via video on the site.
The advisory board includes Frances Beinecke, the President of the Natural Resources Defense Council, as well as two of Yale’s best from the Environmental Law department. (Don’t hold it against them that they gave W. a degree.)
At the end of the campaign, five teens who submit ideas will be awarded an iPod shuffle, among other prizes, courtesy of youth activist group, Do Something. Here are the organization’s official rules.
C’mon – do it for your country.
