What challenge can you create with our energy and pollutant reduced toolbars that would motivate other schools to compete with yours???

The Johnny GreenSeed Forum is an excellent place to interact with other schools in a fun competition created by your school or class. It may allow a fun friendly place to compete and an overall goal that will showcase what this valuable tool has in reducing pollution through a very focused mission. Eliminating the amount of energy used by a single nuclear reactor is a tremendous way to showcase the potential we have by working together.
