Ten finalists have been selected out of nearly 2,000 essay submissions as part of a search for the most environmentally-friendly school in the United States, including one Pennsylvania school - Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School, Pittsburgh, Pa.
America now has one week to read the essays and vote at America's Greenest School website for its pick to win the title of America's Greenest School. Votes are limited to one per e-mail address per day from May 11-17.
The winning school will receive a plug-in hybrid school bus from IC Bus, which can increase the fuel efficiency of standard school buses by up to 65 percent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40 percent. The hybrid bus has an estimated retail value of $200,000. The student who submitted the winning essay will win a $5,000 scholarship.
Those who cast a vote are eligible to receive a $200 gift card to www.GreenAndMore.com, a website for eco friendly products. Three gift cards will be given away each day of voting.
