350 Challenge

Some of you may have noticed the 350 challenge badge in the right hand column of this blog. This is from the Brighter Planet blog challenge. The challenge, was to get 350 bloggers to add their badge to their blogs, which would help to spread the word about what the Brighter Planet does. In return, they "offset" 350 lbs of carbon for every badge installed. They have surpassed their 350 blogger goal, but have decided to continue the program based upon its success.

Brighter Planet is a grass roots program to build wind turbines which will offset carbon emissions. The program raises money through a couple of different programs. Primarily is with a credit card rewards program. This works much like other credit card rewards, where each time the card is used, a certain portion of the money goes to the Brighter Planet, who uses the money to build wind turbines. There are other fund raising programs too.

Visit Brighter Planet to learn more or to participate in one of their programs.
