Ready to be rewarded for your efforts to save the planet? New York State’s tourism promotion agency, ILOVENEWYORK, will spotlight individuals who are doing their part to preserve and protect the environment with their new “Greenest New Yorker” contest.
Entries will be judged by a panel of celebrities and influential “green” Empire State residents, including chef, author, and restaurateur Mario Batali (who has six New York State-based Certified Green Restaurants); Josh Dorfman, author of The Lazy Environmentalist on a Budget and host of Sundance Channel’s The Lazy Environmentalist; actor Peter Facinelli (Twilight movies, Nurse Jackie); home interior designer Robin Wilson and architect Morris Adjmi.
The Grand Prize winner will be announced on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22. The winner will receive his or her choice of an I LOVE NEW YORK Green Getaway, which includes a three-day, two-night package for two to one of New York’s Top Ten Green Destinations.
Contestants log onto EscapeMaker.com to submit their entries. To be considered, residents must demonstrate their contributions to sustainable practices and what they do to maintain a “green spirit.”
Submissions must be received no later than midnight on April 8, 2010.
