SCCG will have a booth at the Focus the Nation event at Shen this weekend (see last post for details).
There's an award of about $500 for young people (ages 8-16) who are working on an environmental project. http://www.grantsalert.com/grants.cfm?id=4&gid=9825 I'd strongly encourage someone to apply for that award if they have a project.
The National Wildlife Federation is now accepting entries for their annual photography contest.
There's also an essay contest for ages 8-18 about energy for the future.
Hope to see you at the Focus the Nation event this weekend!

More about this group
- Saratoga County Community Green
- is a community organization started by Shona Watt and Chris DiMaria. The goal of the six students who the run group is to educate and inspire others to create a more sustainable lifestyle. Everyone can make differences in his or her life, small or large: by switching to renewable energy, using compact flourescent bulbs, using canvas bags instead of plastic, or purchasing a more fuel efficient car. This group is not affiliated with any political party; rather, it simply promotes community projects to raise awareness about how we can minimize our ecological footprint and leave the earth a little better than we found it.
