Dear Oprah: Please Take Someone off the Grid.
>> Tuesday, April 27, 2010
What do Green Shoppers want to win? This Earth Month, we polled Ecobunga! readers to find out. We offered three (hypothetical) dream green prizes -- a hybrid car, a green home makeover, or a two-year supply of organic foods. Here's what our readers said:
What's Your Dream Green Prize?
- Green Home Makeover (38%)
- Two Year Supply of Organic Foods (33%)
- Hybrid Car (25%)
There were write-in votes for an electric car, an eco-vacation, and "something that caused the earth no harm". And a number of respondents told us exactly what they'd like for their green home makeover (solar panels, wind power, etc.) One comment that cropped up quite a bit was "Take me off the grid!"
Which got us thinking ...
Who better to give out a dream green prize than Oprah Winfrey? She's known world-wide for her generosity -- from her charitable works to her yearly "Favorite Things" episode, where she gives away oodles of prizes to her studio audience (though not this past year, for some reason.)
How about an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" devoted to educating your audience on how to green their homes and helping one viewer realize her dream to go entirely off the power grid? Talk about making every day Earth Day!
(As for everyone who's not Oprah, keep in mind as you plan your eco-giveaways that a green home prize is a sure winner. It doesn't have to be huge -- anytime we post a giveaway for earth-friendly cleaners, or a water-conserving shower-head, or a composting bin, it's a top traffic-getter.)
So Oprah -- Ecobunga! nominates you as the dream giver of the dream green prize. Before you say goodbye to your show in 2011, maybe you'll make our dreams come true.
