I'm writing to introduce you to a cool new contest where NWF is asking kids, what is your green wish for your school?

Students can wish for anything they want -- as long as it makes their school more eco-friendly.

The National Wildlife Federation has teamed up with Warner Bros. and FTL Solar to introduce the Eco-Schools USA: Rock Your Green Wish with the Movie SHORTS Sweepstakes.

More information on the contest:

What is it?
Eco-Schools USA: Rock Your Green Wish
with the Movie SHORTS
Who can enter?
Students in Grades 1-12. Go here to enter! (You can enter once a day with your wishes. So wish often!)

What do you wish for?
You can wish for anything that would make your school more eco-friendly. For example:

"I wish my school would cut down on unneeded waste, like disposable styrofoam trays."

"I wish we could have class outside."

What can you win?
The grand prize-winning school will receive a portable solar tent/outdoor classroom (value = $10,000). Runner-up schools will win mobile solar chargers, value $350 each, completely portable personal chargers that roll up for easy transport and storage.
