Earth Day Treasure Hunt
Earth Day is tomorrow and Yahoo Green has added a FUN contest with prizes to help us get more involved.They are hiding Earth Day Treasure Hunt in ReUse/Recycle Groups everywhere.
If you are not familiar with reuse groups, there are several around the world.
I belong to Freecycle.org and I think most other reuse group’s work in a similar fashion. If you have something you don’t want anymore you post by email to the group about your item, list how someone can contact you to pick the item up. Freecycle.org is free to be a member and you can not charge for anything you are listing to give away. It also works in reverse. If you need an item you can post what you are in need of and wait to see if someone has the item sitting around looking for a new home.
Freecycle groups are divided by areas such as the county or city you live in. Having a local group is the key to success. There are no shipping charges and quick and easy pick up’s can be made.
From Yahoo Green Web Page:
To look for an Earth Day treasure:
- Sign up with the reuse group nearest you, and keep your eyes peeled! At some point between April 20 and May 4, 2008, you may see a message from a member identified as Yahoo! offering an Earth Day treasure.
- Reply to the message, and include this info in your email: your first and last name, your email address, and your Yahoo! ID. Just send one email. Sending multiple emails can get you disqualified.
- If your email is the first one received that qualifies, you’ll get the goods.
Yahoo! might not tell the group about the winner because entries have to be verified. Limit is one prize per person. Prize winners will be notified no later than May 20, 2008.
Please read the complete rules for details.
Hurry on over to Yahoo Green for details and links to your reuse group and good luck treasure hunting.
