This category is the most important aspect of the Green Stars Project and it’s all about you! The goal of the project is to encourage you, dear readers, to write green star reviews where you assign an ethical rating to a product or local business.
This post provides a good overview of how the competition works: Basically write a green star review and then contact me to let me know that you’ve done so.
The only thing that changes over time is the prize. The prize used to be an item (T-Shirt, reusable lunch box, etc.) from the World Wildlife Fund catalog. This was kind of a win-win since the prize is something useful and sustainable and also supports the conservation work that the WWF carries out around the planet.
At the moment I’m happy to be collaborating with the UK nonprofit, Ethical Consumer, one of the best resources in this field. So, the current prize for the Green Stars contest is a one-year subscription to Ethical Consumer. That’s also a win-win as Ethical Consumer is a great organization that deserves your support and awareness.
The primary goal of the Green Stars Project is to encourage all of us to include an ethical rating whenever we write a review. So please join in and write a green star review!
