In late 2015, Bring Your Green annouced a 'Green Idea' contest, asking the public for innocative idea that could help the enviroment and create a healthier and more sustainable community. We received 43 ideas! The winning Green idea was voted on by Dayton Regional Green leadership and awarded to Amy Brandl, who was recognized at a Sustainability Luncheon in April 2016 and handed her a $500 check.

All green ideas were submitted to DRG Action teams for adoption and inspiration as they prepared their own 2016 Sustainability Grant Applications.

In return, participants received 100 points for exercising their right to vote!
