 Clicklist: Watery contests

>> Break the Bottled Water Habit’s a new campaign that asks people to pledge not to drink bottled water anymore. Make the pledge for a chance to win a commuter bike, a trip for two to rapidly melting Glacier National Park, or many other water-related consumer products.

>> No Impact Man’s begging readers to make the Break the Bottled Water Habit campaign (and his blog post) go viral, as if BtBWH is the best thing since sliced local, organic bread. I’d like to point out that Food & Water Watch’s Take Back the Tap campaign has been asking people to take a similar pledge for a while now; even Brita+Nalgene’s FilterForGood campaign, which I write for, has got a similar pledge page. Can’t these people work together?

>> Calling all creek freaks! Know a river hero — or are one yourself? Enter my fave toothpaste company Tom’s of Maine’s “River Stories” Video Contest for a chance to win not a canoe fit for river rafting, but a Prius fit for — carpool tours of the LA River.

>> Socio-enviro-conscious DJs: Remix Bluesman Joe L. Carter’s song “Mr. Waterman” for a chance to win $400. The contest’s linked to a new documentary film, The Water Front, which focuses around a community of Highland Park, MI residents fighting for their right to their water supply. Deadline: Dec. 16, 2008.
