Since the beginning of April, SunChips® teamed up with National Geographic for the Green Effect™ initiative.  

 A few years ago, SunChips® started using solar power to help make their wonderful delicious snacks in  Modesto, California, one of seven plants located across the U.S., to help rebuild the Town of Greensburg  which was destroyed by a tornado.   Their plan is to begin using fully compostable packaging by 2010.

SunChips® wants to hear from you, the consumers, how you would make your community greener, and how you would like to inspire others.  Submit a description of your Green Effect idea by June 8, 2009. Ten finalists will be announced July 7, 2009.

 The five best entries will receive $20,000 to make their idea happen…. Let’s Go Green!
