REI Lifetime Membership ($20 lifetime membership) + $80 Gift CardOR
PCC Lifetime Membership ($60 lifetime membership) + $40 Gift Card


In order to qualify, you must complete one of the following challenges by 5pm Wednesday 3/18. If you complete more then one challenge, your name will be entered into the drawing for each challenge you complete. The more items you complete, the more chances you have to win! However, you may still only win one prize per drawing.



  • Subscribe to this blog, by entering your email address in the upper right hand corner.

  • Become an active participant in the current PlayGreen team: Our next PlayGreen Meeting is on TUE 3/17 @ 2pm Purple Haze, and is held monthly on the 3rd TUE each month @ 2pm in Purple Haze. Join the PlayGreen team & attend your first meeting on 3/17 to become eligible for the drawing. (Existing PlayGreen Team Members: You are already considered active if you attended last month’s meeting).

  • RSVP that you’ll be joining us on our PlayWell/PlayGreen hike on Saturday 3/21 10am-2pm @ Camp Long

  • RSVP that you will be volunteering for the Work Party on Saturday 4/4 10am-2pm @ Camp Long

  • As listed on “One Million Acts Of Green,” try washing only a full-load of laundry & running your clothes washer on its shortest cycle. Once completed, email me to let me know. A double whammy in the electricity and water department is the washing machine. It’s a bit of a resource draining bear. It takes about 155 liters of water to do one load of laundry, so make sure it’s a full one. And try putting it on the shortest cycle. This one’s simple: less time = less energy.

We will be sending out different challenges like this on a regular basis, which will make you eligible for prizes at each All-Employee GPC Meeting.

Thanks for participating, & PlayGreen!
