Jetting to green: JetBlue contest

Not too long ago, one of my shortest entries ever attracted a number of commenters railing against carbon credits. So this JetBlue "Jetting to green" contest is interesting:

Today we are launching our new environmental initiative, Jetting to Green, and to celebrate we're giving away:

One Toyota Prius® hybrid
One $3,000 Smith & Hawken Gift Card
One Energy Star® qualified Sharp AQUOS® LCD TV with a Blue-ray Disc™ player and a Green Planet Films DVD library
Five (5) Pangea Organics Gift Bags valued at $200 each
Plus, bonus sweepstakes prizes featuring an Eco-Culinary Retreat at Rosas Farms with the Organic Chef for the winner and three friends or a trip for two at The Boulder Resort and Golden Spa

About Jetting to Green

No matter what your stance is on today's environmental issues, there's no question that a cleaner, greener planet is good for us all. Jetting to Green is about working together to make a difference - within our company, our industry and our communities - because together we really can make the world a better place.

Carbonfund.org Partnership

One important initiative is carbon offsetting. JetBlue has partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated by our crewmembers when they travel for corporate business in 2008. This will finance the planting of approximately 11,200 trees in Louisiana, creating a 40-acre forest. You can help to offset your travel or any component of your lifestyle!

So JetBlue says carbon offsetting is important. But remember this isn't me telling you what to do!

Anyway, the contest is here - look for "Jetting to green".
