I would be elated to win this! I need this because there are no eco-friendly supplies sellers near me! I hate buying the regular supplies because I know how much that harms our environment. I want to do my part. It would be AMAZING to win this. I could use most of the supplies and I’ll give some away. I campaign a lot for going green and stopping Global Warming so I can give people a little reminder so they can remember to go green. I want to tell our mayor that we should have an Environmental Club and these supplies would help in petitioning.

The bag and school supplies look excellent. I’m actually a student going back to school so this would be extremely helpful. I love how the notebook says “RESCUED PAPER NOTEBOOK”. This is likely to be a conversation starter and a great ice breaker because I’m going to be attending a new school.

Most of all, the bag, school supplies and shirt are GREAT ways of getting the message out there. Many people don’t know or don’t care for the environment. I do. Everyone and everything is being affected by Global Warming. GO GREEN!

I would love the supplies. Thanks for the great contest and thank you so much for spreading the word.

Well the Contest has come to a close and thanks so much for all the amazing comments. We are filtering through them right now to find the person that “needs” the Noon Solar powered bag the most. We really do wish we could give it to all of you. Truly, the responses to this contest have been amazing and we appreciate each and every comment we have received. The judging has not been easy but we will have our winner soon enough.

Once again thanks so much for all the funny, honest, heartfelt, creative responses that we have received. You all have made this one of the best competitions that Inhabitat has put on.

Thanks and take care.

LIke it or not, mass politics is a part of today’s society. People debate issues, consider the pros and cons, and eventually the all-important grants are allocated and budgets are approved. The local political game, once a long and arduous process, has been sped up by the ubiquity of cell phones and personal communication devices. A budget that used to take weeks to pass may now be approved within a single day.

In my own community, I lobby local officials to make eco-friendly decisions: funding green technology, buying hybrids, and – most importantly – making the green movement a large part of their campaign. When my cell phone dies, the candidates and officials I advise cannot get in touch with me. This next election season is ESPECIALLY important, with many local issues and candidates that I care about deeply. Solar power would actually be helping create green legislation by charging my cell phone.

This coming November, the green movement takes center stage in my community and others around the nation. Charging my cell phone with solar power would be the environmentally, politically, and ethically responsible thing to do.

People know me as someone who walks the talk and this bag would be a great way to show everyone that being sustainable doesn\’t mean you have to make major changes all at once; it starts with the smallest steps.
