Green Economy Scavenger Hunt Extended to November 30

a reporter and a symbol for a green economyAs I noted last week, the Red, Green and Blue/ReframeIt Scavenger Hunt has picked up steam… we’re seeing some great web finds, comments, and discussions. And, regardless of who wins tomorrow’s election, the conversation surrounding the growth of a green economy needs to continue. So, we’ve decided to extend the Green Economy Scavenger Hunt through the month of November.

That’s right — if you’ve been too busy getting your political fix (and who hasn’t), you’ll have plenty of time to join in the hunt… and to dig up the ideas and innovations that the next President and Congress will need to consider as they further craft policy related to greening the US’ economic development.

Keep in mind, though, that the deadline is the only thing that’s changed — the rules surrounding the scavenger hunt, and process for getting involved, remain the same. We’re still giving away $1000 and a guest posting opportunity at RG&B to the winner, and a number of other cash prizes. And just because we’ll have a president-elect doesn’t mean that his record still doesn’t deserve scrutiny. But as we move forward as a country, it’ll be even more important to get cutting edge ideas for clean technology development, green job creation, and sustainable business growth out into the open… and our friends at ReframeIt have developed a great tool for doing just that — check out this video for information on how ReframeIt works.

Want to get involved?  Here’s how:

Sign up at ReframeIt through this link http://reframeit.com/groups/53z7JVSH9zU/members/new and follow the instructions. Just a reminder after you press the “Download Extension” button remember to:

Then start your hunt. Remember, we’re looking for some of the best concepts out there on sustainable economic growth. What concepts, policies, technologies and models will best serve the next US president in moving the country towards green growth?

Is Nuclear “The Best Solution On Climate Change”?

A few weeks ago Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) called for a new energy solution. A solution that came in the form of 100 new nuclear power plants. That vision has not left the republicans’ eyes. And on Tuesday, Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) added his two cents.
