Congratulations to K. Trapp of Milwaukee, WI, winner of a copy of Sleeping Naked is Green. Enjoy!

Summer is here and to celebrate, we're giving away eco-friendly oat protein sunscreen from Kiss My Face. To enter, just post your tip below for keeping summer green.

Maybe you've switched to a natural charcoal for your BBQ, or pack a stylish bamboo towel for the beach. We'll draw one tip at random and award the prize at noon EST on August 31st, 2009.

who will be sleeping naked?

Our book giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!

Stay tuned for the announcement of the winner - and our next contest!

your handmade moment could win cash

While not necessarily 'green,' handmade goods are better than those made by cheap labourers and shipped hundreds of miles to Walstore. In this spirit, Etsy, THE place for all things handmade, has announced a contest for creative/artsy types.

Basically, Etsy needs promo videos, and they've got a clever way to get 'em. They are accepting submissions for short videos promoting Etsy and the handmade movement.

The guidelines are simple: your theme must be "A Handmade Moment" and must legibly display the text "Etsy.com". The winning submissions will receive a total of $10,000! (and Etsy will use the video).

There are runner-up cash prizes as well. Check it out at Etsy.com.

win a copy of this book!

We waxed poetic yesterday about Vanessa Farquharson and her new book, Sleeping Naked is Green.

Now we're giving away a copy to one lucky reader!

To enter, simply leave a comment below. Use a real email address so we contact you if you win. Anyone is eligible, and entries will be accepted until June 30, 2009 at 12:00 EST. Good luck!
