Congratulations!

Hickory Springs wishes to congratulate all of the EarthCare Challenge contestants on their tremendous achievements.  We believe that you have all taken significant steps to not only make your lives greener, but also better! For that we applaud each and every one of you.  But there can be only one winner, and after much careful consideration, Hickory Springs has selected Laura Dillon from San Bernardino, CA as the winner of the EarthCare Challenge!

Laura Dillon, San Bernardino, CA

Over the past 45 days, Laura has demonstrated how she has truly changed her mindset on a variety of issues including recycling, gift wrapping, beauty products, light bulbs, gardening/food choices, transportation and giving clothing a second life. She demonstrated how she can serve as a positive role model for others striving to go green, proving that simple changes can help anyone become Eco Chic. Hickory Springs is pleased to award Laura with her own personal collection of EarthCare Inside home furnishings with a retail value of up to $5,000!

Hats off to our runner up Justina Justine from Clifton, NJ, whose hard work and determination to change her Eco Oblivious ways resulted in a permanent move to a more earth-friendly lifestyle, whether at home, work or play.  Hickory Springs is pleased to award Justina with a luxurious hand-crafted bedding and pillow ensemble featuring aromatherapy!

What began as a simple Q&A over Facebook has turned into practical knowledge each of you have expressed in your own unique way. Contestant Ray Bariso’s final video offered us a tour of eco upgrades made throughout his home -- a perfect example to all homeowners of what can be done from small (foam insulation in a can) to big (solar energy). Contestant Idona Cabrinha demonstrated a real passion for earth-conscious living and the everyday influence a mother can have on her family.

Congratulations again to all our contestants and until next time, The EarthCare Challenge hopes you remember to keep asking... are you Eco Oblivious or Eco Chic?

National Competition Overview

The EarthCare Challenge is a first-of-its-kind nationwide contest that will chronicle -- in a reality game show environment -- the challenges of six contestants aspiring to live more sustainable lifestyles. The contest will take place entirely on the Internet on social networking communities Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and EarthCareInside.com.

On December 1, Hickory Springs will announce six regional finalists who will embark on a 45-day Green Makeover. A panel of Green Lifestyle Experts will guide the finalists toward their own sustainable lifestyle.

The contestants’ progress will be chronicled through social media sites, while the public at large will be invited to participate by voting for their favorite contestant and becoming a fan of designated sites for a chance to win special discounts and prizes.

One grand prize winner will be announced on or about January 18, 2010. The winner will be selected by Hickory Springs based on who has made the most dramatic makeover, and will be awarded their own personal collection of eco-friendly furnishings for their home! Hickory Springs’ decision as to grand prize winner is final.

Total estimated actual value of grand prize offered is $5,000. Odds of winning are dependent on number of entrants.
