Suddenly Frugal Blog

I normally don’t cover contests, sweepstakes and giveaways but since I am participating in this promotion–a copy of Suddenly Frugal is one of the items people can win–I thought my readers might like knowing about it, in case they want to enter, too!

Earth911.com recently launched a special section of its Web site to mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. The Earth Day channel not only features 40 tips about reducing, reusing and recycling, but also hosts a Twitter contest beginning March 29 and ending in a giveaway on Earth Day, April 22.

During the contest, two tips will be released each day on the Earth Day channel, counting down to Earth Day itself.

By simply tweeting the channel’s Web address (http://earth911.com/earthday/) each day a new set of tips is released, members of the Twitter audience will be entered into a drawing to receive eco-friendly prizes such as:

• One home composting starter kit, courtesy of SunChips

SunChips will also sponsor tips about newly introduced compostable products, as the company recently launched the world’s first 100 percent compostable chip bag that decomposes in 14 weeks when placed in a hot active compost bin.
