WOW!  What an abstract concept for a kid who's never even been to New York City! Now, she's one of the young winners sharing LG billboard space with the Lorax in Times Square.

The lure of a Lorax DVD enticed our daughter to enter the Team ENERGY STAR essay contest last month. She had learned tips about saving energy on EPA's ENERGY STAR website full of free games and printables. When I explained to her the scope of the contest, she quickly launched into an elementary school student's version of a short how-to guide to saving energy and the environment. 

Our family was blown away to discover she'd been chosen as a top winner of the Team ENERGY STAR Challenge! Turns out she's won an ENERGY STAR certified LED/LCD flat-screen HDTV for watching her favorite movies, plus other impressive new electronics from LG! Many thanks to LG Electronics USA, DoSomething.org and the US Environmental Protection Agency for sponsoring this contest.
