August 31 2007

Run by the German Council for Sustainable Development, this competition is being held from December 1 2006 through August 31 2007. Prizes include an outfit by the label Kuyichi; a bicycle from Patria; and a trip to one of the Deutsche Bahn AG's European destinations. 36 additional entrants will each win a piece of rainforest, donated by the "Rettet den Regenwald e.V." ("Save the Rainforest").

This competition seeks your personal, original actions for how to make your everyday life and that of others more sustainable. This can include ideas regarding everyday situations such as your consumption habits or your use of energy, or how you - together with others - could transform your immediate surroundings or area into a community. Entries need to describe how you will put your ideas into action in your everyday life. What is your goal and what changes will you make in your behaviour to achieve it? Will you need to involve and rely on others too? What potential obstacles might you have to overcome? They also seek graphics of what you want to achieve, photos of you putting your idea into action, or drawings of how you imagine the world to be once you have reached your goal.

You can submit a maximum of three actions, each accompanied by one visual representation. Everyone, from all countries and of all ages is invited to take part in the competition.
