The ULS (Use Less Stuff^TM) Contest

Rules and Entry Procedures

To celebrate the Third Annual ULS Day on November 20th, 1997, The ULS Report, U.S. EPA and Keep America Beautiful, Inc. and over 250 other ULS Day participants are sponsoring a Use Less Stuff Contest for children ages 6 - 12. The contest will kick off with a call on schools to declare ULS Day Waste-Free Lunch Day.

Need some help with tips on how to create waste free lunches? Here are a whole bunch of easy-to-do, effective ways to reduce waste at lunchtime.

Through the contest, students will be challenged to think of innovative ways to reduce waste. The prizes are a new bicycle for the grand prize winner, and in-line skates, courtesy of Rollerblade, Inc., for the finalists. In the spirit of using less stuff, these have been selected for their message as energy-efficient alternative modes of transportation.

Here's How the Contest Works:

• Each participating student submits one ULS idea on the contest entry form, which may be downloaded in any of three versions:

  Word for MAC

  Word for the PC
