Overview

GreenMyparents will recruit over 1,000,000 Kids to teach Friends & their Parents How to Save at least $100 (and Save The Planet!) by showing Mom & Pops the step-by-step ways to change how a family uses energy, water, eats, makes waste, & moves around.

GreenMyParents asks Youth to lead an environmental & economic revolution today, at home. Youth learn how to grade parents (A, B, C, or F!) on eco-activities & negotiate for a fair share of eco-savings (i.e., money to go into your pocket to do whatever you want with!)

The web site, apps & e-book, GreenMyParents, is for kids to use. Our interactive tool empowers kids to "challenge" parents & recruit all their friends to join in a mass movement of easy home-based changes that result in saving money & improving family relationships by using less, changing habits & keeping score.

GreenMyparents gives kids the platform to show parents, businesses and politicians that saving the planet saves money.

How will the 250K be Used?

Budget Notes: This budget assumes that the youth leaders will leverage free social media and earned media to recruit their 100 peers each, and will train each acquired peer to do the same. We will not buy traditional media. Legal and accounting services donated by a pro bono partner already identified (Manatt)
