Spark Green 2018 Climate Action Campaign
|
The Spark Green 2018 campaign aims to double participation in the Menlo Green Challenge, an online program that empowers residents to take climate actions. Last year, almost 400 households signed up for the Green Challenge and they have reduced over 100 tons of carbon emissions! This year, Menlo Spark aims to double that. We’re encouraging everyone to keep taking climate actions, invite friends and neighbors to join, and get recognized with awards and prizes.
Starting January 29th through March 2nd, Challenge takers can share what they're doing for the Menlo Green Challenge and earn entry into the first hashtag contest. Entry into the hashtag contest for prizes is simple! Any action taken towards the Menlo Green Challenge can be posted on the Menlo Spark
Facebook page
