EarthE awards, environmental games and lesson plans are a great way to get adults, teachers, students and kids to work together for the planet. Group ecological action promotes team spirit and peace. Below are a few strategies to power-up a new or existing environmental ed, club, group or school campaigns using EarthEs:: • Art, photography and media students and others are invited to design new EarthE money, media and video. These designs can be created to support a specific environmental club or school campaign. We welcome everyone to upload their EarthE designs to the new EarthE Honors design/photo pool at Flickr.com. The best new EarthE Awards/ Money, designs and ideas will be added to the *News* column on EarthE home page. Plus, prizes and cash will be periodically awarded to students and others for the coolest EarthE designs and ideas posted to our Flickr design pool. Art and media teachers can email us to get the *EarthE Eco Money* lesson plan. 
• To raise funds for environmental clubs, the clubs can get sponsors to donate for each person who succeeds in completing an EarthE Challenge. Those who succeed can be given an EarthE Environmental Award, EarthE Awards/ Money or some other EarthE Honor.To track and encourage honesty for the EarthE Environmental Awards and/or EarthE Awards/ Money given, the name of each of the individuals who receive the environmental awards or EarthE Awards/ Money can be posted on a website, in an environmental club publication or in the local press. • One environmental fundraiser concept is to get businesses to sponsor the printing of EarthE Awards/ Money in a local newspaper or publication. Readers would then be able to cut-out the EarthE Awards/ Money to use to reward eco actions. Stores would be mentioned as sponsors in the publication -- next to the EarthE money. Environmental clubs could also make a sales commission from the publication on the 'eco ad' placement. Plus, the EarthE Awards/ Money could then be used to get an EarthE Credit/ discount at participating businesses. We can make custom EarthE Awards/ Money that includes the name of your environmental club or group on it if you want. Those who want to give EarthEs to support an environmental club or action can wear shirts and post signs that say, 'I Give EarthEs for... (biking to school, bringing your own mug, etc)". • Another environmental rewards angle is to print-out or handmake some stickers or buttons that say, "Get EarthE", "Live Earthy", "I Give EarthEs", "Kiss EarthE" and other EarthE slogans for participants or students to wear. The EarthE Store has buttons too. Participants wearing the stickers/ buttons then go around and ask others to tell them about an ecological action they have taken in the last month (or week). If the person can state a relevant eco action they have taken, they are then given an EarthE reward for that action. Reward examples include the EarthE Handshake or Kiss, EarthE Awards/ Money, EarthE Bracelets and the EarthE Art/ Word. Alternatively, participants wearing the stickers/buttons can use Challenge EarthE Awards/ Money to invite others to take specific eco actions for the planet. To add an incentive to complete an eco challenge, a reward and/or a chance to win something can be given to those who complete the eco challenge. An online raffle, or a cardboard box raffle could be used for the latter reward. • Whether a person is an artist or not -- they can draw a little picture give it to someone for biking to work for a week, or for some other eco action. Or, the picture could simply be one that has been torn out of a nature magazine. The *eco artist* might also want to add this to their picture: "thank you for riding your bike for our sweet mother Earth (or other applicable message)"; EarthE.org and/or an *E* with a line over it. • An eco raffle is another easy campaign that can be started by placing a box in a location where people can deposit the Challenge EarthE Awards/ Money they have completed or signed, or, deposit the EarthE Awards/ Money they have been awarded. A similiar raffle could be set up using a community website forum.
