Help Us Find Our Greta!
Drawing inspiration from Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, who became famous this Spring for launching a student movement to compel adults to act on global warming, we’re rewarding youth climate activists in South Jersey with launch of our #FindOurGreta contest. Nominations for South Jersey’s “Greta” will be accepted from June 26 to August 31. The winner will be announced in September and will receive a $300 Amazon gift card.
