Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Gets Green With One Lucky School
Filed under: buildings and construction, contests, television, thegreenpicture — parrish @ 10:58 am
Besides the fact that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition isn’t very green, I have two big issues with the program. One: I wonder how the family pays for the maintenance and property taxes once the cameras are gone. Two: It makes me blubber like an idiot. Putting all of that aside, it’s nice to see EMHE taking part in an eco-contest.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is launching Educate To Escape, a sweepstakes sponsored in part by Ford, to provide up to $250,000 in eco-friendly improvements to one school. Along with that, Ford will also give away a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid to one lucky viewer. The Ford Escape Hybrid boasts 34mpg and uses a combination of electric and gas to help reduce carbon emissions. Sexy stuff!
True, this does smell like a “look how green we are” promotion, but at least they’re putting a quarter of a million bucks into a noble cause. If you’re school needs to be pimped out in green, visit EducateToEscape.com and help Ty “MOVE THAT BUS!!!!!!!!”
Can’t win can they? First you say they aren’t green then you bag on them for trying to be green. You have no idea what you are talking about, if you want to make a difference, don;t be a hater.

Port charlotte middle school should be nominated for this opertunity because,not only is this school over 35 years old but there are cocroaches in every class room that run around,there are HUNDREDS of them,people have gotten sick here because of the moldiness places,the bugs and more,our lunch rooms are good but the kitchens are tiny!so please help our school….

Huntley Project High School should get this because we have no high school now. Also because this didnt just affect students that go for four years and then move away to a different school, this school has seniors that have been going here for 12 or 13 years. It didnt just affect the high school it affected the elementary, JH, and most of all the community. We all are standing high and putting on our happy face but we need a school. please extreme makeover help us!!! Love, Huntley
Pick Huntley Please…..we need it, it might be the whole school that we need but we now you guys are the ones that could do that!!!!!! You guys are the best and the ones we want to do this for!
