Subject: The 'greenest student college challenge'

Good Day,

My name is Brett Lyall and I'm an Environmental Studies student at the
University of San Diego. I'm reaching out to you because I think you would be
truly happy/excited to know about the online global college contest for the
'Greenest
Student<http://www.thinkgreenliveclean.com/2010/09/green-your-study-habits-wi
th-a-new-ipad-and-matching-ipad-case/>' that just kicked off last week.

ThinkGreenLiveClean.com, an environmental news website run by student writers
(of which I'm one), is sponsoring the contest in an effort to showcase the
most creative and innovative green ideas emerging from college campuses. I'm
sure students at your University would love to enter this awesome event and
have a chance to let their green ideas be known and win a new iPad and
matching iPad case that has been donated by Dukes Restaurants to make studying
and saving trees a little easier! An active college email account is all that
is required to enter the contest.

The contest has a judge's panel consisting of professors from the University
of San Diego, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of
Hawaii, as well as students from an array of colleges. Students will have a
month to submit their 'Green Resolution' online before the entries are
collected for judging! Please view the contest page here: Greenest Student

Third:

The Eliot (ME) Energy Commission has been awarded funds from the Dept of Environmental Protection to support an internship.

We have completed a greenhouse gas inventory and are drafting a climate action plan. We created town ordinances that support small-scale wind and solar. There's an experimental tidal turbine. In all of these initiatives we are among the first towns in Maine! We also received a grant to analyze town buildings for energy efficiency, and are recipients of another grant to create a revolving loan fund for  weatherization and alternative energy installations. On top of that, we are launching a residential Carbon Challenge this week.

There's a lot going on in Eliot and we need your help!

We are looking for a dynamic and organized student - team player, self-starter, resourceful, gregarious, great communicator with database skills, passionate about energy and sustainability, interested in things like wind turbines and community action.

You will be part of the Commission on an interim basis, meeting every month. You will be under the supervision of the EEC and the DEP, but operate independently on a range of initiatives. There is a nice stipend, beyond the obvious points on your resume.The DEP internship description is attached, but will evolve as needed.

More details about the internship goals and objectives are available directly from the Eliot Energy Commission. Please respond to:

We hope to see you all on Wednesday Night!
Thank you from the,
