"SHOW YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT" COMPETITION

 


Centre for Sustainability and Excellence CHICAGO, IL, March 19, 2009 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- The Centre for Sustainability and Excellence (CSE) in Chicago is hosting a Carbon Neutral competition to reward the organization with the most creative concept for a Carbon Neutral Event or Product. After supporting the development of the world’s first Carbon Neutral Olive Oil GAEA, featured in this year’s Academy Awards Oscar Ceremony, and seeing the impact it has had on spreading the urgency of the Climate Change issue, CSE is hosting this competition to recreate the energy around Carbon Neutral Products. The winner of “Show Your Carbon Footprint” will receive complimentary services from CSE in support of developing its Carbon Neutral event (valued at $20,000) and also a Marketing Campaign to promote the winning organization throughout our network of approximately 10,000 contacts. Concept proposals are now being accepted through its website www.cse-northamerica.org.
