What's Mini E-idea?
We all need to play our part in protecting the environment and reducing our carbon footprint. Through the Mini E-idea competition, share with the world your eco-actions and tips for a greener life. Your eco-actions and tips may involve reducing, recycling, reusing and other activities that will promote more sustainable ways of living in the following groups: at home, at work, and during your free time.
The Mini E-idea competition is open to all those with a Facebook account. You can post your new eco-actions or re-post your regular eco-actions using the Facebook or i-Phone application, Socialacts. You can also learn about the eco-actions of people from different countries around the world and promote the ones you “like”. By posting in English, this is an opportunity to connect your eco-actions and tips to others living around the world, and to build up your international network.
