GreenSTART Prizes  

GreenSTART Prizes are made possible by your contributions to the GreenSTART FUND. Please consider helping us to "close the loop" in reducing our collective carbon footprint. We hope to see these prize levels increase and even additional prizes get added to this list (see the red highlights below for our most recent increases!). To see our Sponsors and for more information about the the fund, please click here. All students who participate in GreenSTART are eligible to win a cash prize. Student Prize winners will be announced at the GreenSTART Fair!

If you have registered, you will be able to pick up your copy at the GreenSTART Fair! (*Maximum of three free GreenZebra Savings Guides per registered project!)
