We want to reward you for your actions. That's why we created Greenopolis Rewards. You can earn points by recycling in our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks, blogging and commenting on Greenopolis and by recycling at home in selected cities. These points can then be traded in on coupons for meals, entertainment, discounts and more.
Our Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks are a big part of our commitment to conservation, recycling and tracking waste to resources. This Tracker shows the number of bottles, cans and other waste these machines have collected so far. Check our Kiosk Locator on our home page for a Greenopolis Recycling Kiosks near you.
TogetherGreen Conservation Fellowships – A Call for Leaders
TogetherGreen Conservation Fellowships – A Call for Leaders
Do you have a great, green idea to for a conservation action project in your community? A project that will engage people of all backgrounds to come together to learn and then to act on that knowledge? If so, you might want to take a look at TogetherGreen, a conservation alliance between the National Audubon Society and Toyota, which is now accepting applications for its 2011 class ofFellows.
Through TogetherGreen Conservation Fellowships, 40 individuals will be chosen for their demonstrated leadership, as well as leadership potential, skills, and commitment to engaging people of diverse backgrounds in conservation action. Fellows receive a $10,000 grant to conduct a conservation action project in their community, as well as specialized training and support to help shape and implement their projects. They also become part of a dynamic alumni network of conservation professionals from across the country.
Candidates for the TogetherGreen Fellows program must have at least six years experience in some aspect of the environment, a passion for conservation, the desire to learn and grow, and an interest and ability to reach diverse and previously underrepresented audiences.
The inaugural class of 40 TogetherGreen Fellows recruited more than 3,400 individuals who spent 37,000 hours on conservation activities. 2010 Fellowship Projects include inspiring and creating opportunities for young people living in cities to connect with nature, educating groups of children to be environmental stewards and encouraging and educating local residents to become more energy-efficient.

And it doesn’t stop there, grants are also available specifically for Audubon groups and their partners through The TogetherGreen Innovation Grant program which provides funding to equip, and support activities that engage new and diverse audiences in conservation action and create healthier communities. A minimum of 40 projects will receive funding, totaling more than $1 million dollars of support—with grants ranging from $5,000-$80,000. Grants will be reviewed by an expert advisory panel, and the average grant awarded will be around $25,000.
