Hot on the heels of his Sumo Match for the environment. Yahoo Founder, David Filo, Announces on the Yahoo blog another contest. The search for the Greenest City in the US in terms of “Eco” minded citizens. The winning city will get a fleet of hybrid taxis or cash equivalent, to be used for greening projects.
To join the contest, US residents must do any of the following:
1. Answer a question on Yahoo! Answers (and take your shot at answering Matt Dillon’s question while you’re at it about the most effective yet simple ways people can save energy;
2. Go to Yahoo! oneSearch on your mobile phone to type in green keywords like “organic food” and “public transport” plus your zip code to find relevant local resources; and
3. Pledge to take up to about 30 different planet-protecting actions in order to reduce your personal carbon emissions and track them on an interactive U.S. map to see the collective impact of everyone else who takes part.
In line with this they have also launched a new website called Yahoo! Green, which they hope to be the number one resource for all “Green” related information.
Kudos again to Yahoo for keeping the momentum going to help turn back the tide of Global Warming.
