We really like Grist.org out of Seattle, WA. It's a little skewed toward US content, but still has something for everyone, and their writing style is spot on.

Project Green Search Fashion Model Contest

Calling all fashion models with an eco conscience. You’ve now got till Oct 11 to strike that pose.

Now here's something worth taking a stab at if you're an aspiring model. Project Green Search (2009) is looking for the next 'Green Girl' model. Sounds like a great idea if you fancy your every move being exposed by the green paparazzi. Just don't get caught sitting in your Hummer at a Burger King Drive-Thru (their spelling not mine) wearing fur!


Anyway, sweet idea, but since there's no 'Green Boy', I guess I won't be running anytime soon. Reduced-to-tears, rejected models can always apply here at Artevist, and we'll give you some free tees. Hhhmmm... not such a bad idea really... have to think about that one.


So here's the poop from the Project Green Search website, but you'll need to check it out further for all the details. And for you non-models, be sure to vote for your favourites starting Oct 12th.


***********************

Project Green Search is a nationwide campaign aimed at inspiring people to think about how to align their careers with their environmental, social and humanitarian ethics, serving as a platform to connect mission driven people with sustainable businesses and organizations in the modeling, spokesperson, design, fashion, entertainment and arts arenas.


Project Green Search 2009 is looking for the next green "it girl": The woman who wants to take a stand, get noticed, and align her career endeavors with her personal beliefs, to be an advocate for the environment, animal welfare, fair trade, and human rights. She's a model, spokesperson, host, brand ambassador and all around green model citizen, for progressive, sustainable, ethical companies, from fashion & beauty to cars & computers. Are you the one?


Entry for the 2009 competition period will be open until Sunday, October 11th, 2009. Starting Monday, October 12th, the general public will be able to view entrants online and vote for their favorite ten candidates. All search contestants will be required to donate a minimum 10 hours volunteer time to an environmental non-profit of their choice.
