JuntoVenture holds nationwide Think Green, Live Green Challenge; inspiring discussion about eco-friendly living
In an effort to get the nation acting on earth-inspired ideas, JuntoVenture, a non-profit environmental organization, is hosting a multi-media challenge entitled “The Think Green, Live Green Challenge.” JuntoVenture created the interactive challenge to build a community of dialog about the challenges of eco-friendly living. 
Fun and simple questions about eco-friendly living have been posted on their website at www.juntoventure.org. Participants are encouraged to submit their responses using a digital homemade video to win exciting prizes. The video submission deadline is Earth Day, April 22nd. QuantumShift TV is now hosting our video contest. Please visit this link for more information.
Prizes include cutting-edge eco-gadgets and thousands of dollars worth of sustainable products. The top entries will also have an opportunity to be featured in an upcoming interactive video series produced by JuntoVenture.
The challenge is geared towards building a community-based discussion about “going green.” The challenge will kickoff a series of JuntoVenture projects aimed at providing a simple model for how to live a more eco-friendly life. The non-profit’s main goal is to provide the knowledge to make better environmental choices, give feedback to businesses, present the future emerging market, and facilitate collaboration on eco-friendly projects.
“Many people tell me they want to be more eco-friendly, but that it’s inconvenient and not practical…well, we are creating an easy model to help” says JJ Yoshihara, founder of JuntoVenture, a non-profit organization who is dedicated to educating people about environmental sustainability. “Making the most eco-conscious choices from conflicting information and lack of local resources is difficult. We aim to correct that.”
JuntoVenture is working with TreeHugger.com, MatadorTravel.com, and GreenOptions.com to help promote the challenge. Sponsors include Sierra Designs, Timberland, Pacific Outdoors, Buck Knives, Burt’s Bees, Mountainsmith, Mission Playground, and Lonely Planet, who are offering prizes to encourage people to submit their videos and questions. The challenge has already attracted the attention of celebrities who have declared their intention to submit videos to the challenge. To find out more, visit www.juntoventure.org.

- What are your biggest problems with going green?
- What eco-information would help you become greener the easiest?
- What other information would you like to know most?
JuntoVenture wants to retrieve these questions and answer them! Get to the root of the problems we face! That’s what being a “Junto” is all about. JuntoVenture is embarking on two new projects to educate the world about environmental sustainability and provide an interactive platform for guiding people to successfully “going green.“
Our team has discovered that the largest problems is that there is so much in formation to sift through, so many different ideas and research, that it becomes overwhelming and time-consuming for everyone to become more environmentally sustainable themselves. We hope to change that by creating community, providing the most sought after questions, and working together for the common good. We can put men on the moon, we can certainly figure out simple ways to live more eco-conscious!
The reason we are asking these questions is due to JuntoVenture’s launch of two new interactive sustainability education projects!
- Think Green Live Green Challenge: The Think Green Live Green Challenge is aimed to build a community of dialog about the challenges of eco-friendly living.
- Earth Savers: A web series about two eco-savvy urbanites who will explore what’s green, innovative, and exciting; all on shoestring budget.
The above questions will help JuntoVenture in their future projects. Your responses to the above questions may be used in the projects!
If you would like to support these projects, tax-deductible donations can be made through our website at www.juntoventure.org/contribute
This blog is in response to the environment’s “BLOG ACTION DAY” found at http://blogactionday.org.
