Here’s the scoop, straight from Keen, the eco oriented footwear company. They’re sponsoring 3 separate contests – Stand Up. Stand Out. Stand For…Sustainability, and they’re ready to cough up $150,000 for best ideas or projects which support sustainability.

For inspiration, check out a slew of do-gooders — G. Love, as well as Seth Warren, professional kayaker/biofuel advocate; marathon swimmer/river cleaner-upper, Finn Donnelly; Allison Gannett, skier/snow-saving advocate; Susie Quick, organic farmer/writer and other activists who’ve created new and exciting ways to clean up the planet.
