Call for Green City Reviews (With Cash Awards)
Live in one of the U.S.’s 50 largest cities? SustainLane wants to hear from you.
The group that brings you its annual SustainLane U.S. City Rankings wants to jazz up this year’s listings with resident-written reviews and commentaries about how green — or not — the cities they live in are. Submissions that make the cut will earn you $100 … but you’ve got to move fast, because the deadline is tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 12.
What’s SustainLane looking for? “Send us your perspectives (humorous, tragic, ironic) on living green in your gray city. Is it easy to use your city without a car? What energy sources would suit your city best? What unique contributions to global sustainability can your city make? How would you reform the city’s spaces, if you were queen/king?” (I like that last one!)
Sadly, living in a smaller-type community, I can’t offer my thoughts. But, if you live in one of the following cities, you can:
Albuquerque, NM; Arlington, TX; Atlanta; Austin; Baltimore; Boston; Charlotte, NC; Chicago; Cleveland; Colorado Springs; Columbus, OH; Dallas; Denver; Detroit; El Paso; Fort Worth; Fresno, CA; Honolulu; Houston; Indianapolis; Jacksonville, FL; Kansas City, MO; Las Vegas; Long Beach; Los Angeles; Louisville, KY; Memphis; Mesa, AZ; Miami; Milwaukee; Minneapolis; Nashville, TN; New Orleans; New York City; Oakland; Oklahoma City; Omaha; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Portland, OR; Sacramento; San Antonio; San Diego; San Francisco; San Jose; Seattle; Tucson, AZ; Tulsa, OK; Virginia Beach or Washington, D.C.
