This fall, National Geographic is encouraging students in grades K – 12 to submit ideas and enter the “Find Your Footprint” contest.

- Take your ideas about making your school's environmental footprint smaller to your school officials.
- Working with your teacher, come up with ideas on how your classroom can impact your school's footprint.
- Write up your ideas and illustrate your proposals with photos, movies and illustrations and send these in before December 3, 2010.
