(The Challenge) provides a forum for students to showcase their best ideas and to help Walmart learn from some of the brightest minds in the world. The competition challenges students to invent sustainable products or develop sustainable business solutions and present them to a panel of Walmart executives, suppliers, and environmental organizations. In addition to gaining an audience with some of the top business and sustainability leaders in the United States, the winning school will receive $20,000 to invest in their business or product.
Students must declare their intent to compete by November 1, 2008. There will be several rounds of competition until the 8 final teams are selected to present their plans in Bentonville AR and the final 2 teams will present before Wal-Mart executives and a live audience. First, second, and third place winners will receive $20,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively.
The competition is sponsored by Wal-Mart, Net Impact, and The Applied Sustainability Center at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Hello,
My name is Robbin and I work at an environmental website that just launched this past weekend called Eco Home Resource (www.EcoHomeResource.com). The site is dedicated to helping people create and maintain healthy home and work environments. The site features helpful information on all areas of the home, including
* A Rich Database of Products & Services
* Expert Articles
* Product Comparisons
* An Eco Home Store...and so much more!
The site cover topics from how to green your baby's nursery to the most energy-efficient appliances and great ways to conserve water. We even go "beyond green" and explore topics such as Color Theory, Feng Shui and Aromatherapy. It is the goal that the site will inspire conscious, healthy choices that will benefit people and the planet in which we live.
So please take a look, and feel free to contact the founder, Karen Moore, with any questions or comments.
