Here’s your chance to clean up a piece of Campbell River.
Small Planet Energy’s 2nd annual Small Planet Clean-up Contest is underway.
There are over $1,000 in cash prizes to be had, not to mention a cleaner Campbell River, by the end of the contest on April 23rd.
“Participants will do their own clean-ups and entries will be made by taking before and after pictures of the good work everyone is doing to help our Small Planet,” a release said.
The first annual contest in 2020, was a huge success, with 18 entries and hundreds of pounds of garbage cleaned up from Campbell River’s trails, forests and roads.
The rules are simple.
From now until Friday, April 23rd (the day after Earth Day):
- take before and after photos of garbage you find and clean it up (using all safety precautions);
- submit your photos on Small Planet Energy’s Facebook page, contest event page, or by email to [email protected];
- Make sure to tag Small Planet Energy and use the hashtag #smallplanetcleanup
April 22nd marks the 51st annual celebration of Earth Day, which is a global movement that now includes 193 countries around the world.
“We’re hoping this challenge will inspire people to help clean up Campbell River, and this beautiful Small Planet we all care so much about,” Small Planet said.
Small Planet Energy has over $1000 in cash prizes ($500 for 1st, $300 for 2nd and $100 for 3rd), for the three most impressive garbage cleanups, as well as $50 in cash prizes for the top three children’s clean-ups, between now and Friday, April 23rd, at 6:00pm.
