Go green(er), get funding

Here in Boulder, we’ve got people who care about animals, who protect plants, and who worry about rocks. We’ve got groups watching out for mammals, birds and rodents. We love our outdoor sports and work to take care of the environment in which we play.

In short, Boulder rocks at being green.

Yep. There are groups out there protecting little rat things like this. Photo by Jeff Mitton.

And so I have a proposal for all of you environmentally savvy individuals: Enter yourself or tell someone you admire to enter him/herself to be a winner in the Green Awards before March 6.

Mr. or Ms. first place winner gets $25,000 and a trip to Los Angeles for the Green Awards celebration (although why they’re hosting the bash in such a smog-filled city is beyond me).

So here’s the place to sign up: https://www.thegreenawards.com.

And please, get in touch with Courtney, Laura or Dave at the Daily Camera when you win. It’ll make a sweet story.
