On Monday, we announced the Green Options The Lighter Side of Green contest, and we've been really pleased with the response we've received. Of course, we'd love to see more contest submissions, so if you think you can make us laugh, take your shot at a $100 cash prize and a starter contract as GO's resident funny man or woman.
While we're quite happy with the team of writers we have on board, we could use a couple more. If you're a writer or blogger with a passion for green living, and can commit to daily blog posts (6 per week), we'd be interested in talking to you.
We're so happy to have all of you here to beta test the Green Options portal. My name is Jeff McIntire-Strasburg, and I'm the Senior Editor and Content Director for Green Options. I'm in charge of the blog, the wiki, the news center and the discussion forums; I'm also responsible for any writing that you see around the site.
