Green Festival to Sponsor Twitter Award by Planting a Tree for Every Tweet

If you use Twitter, you've probably heard of the prestigious Shorty Award by now, an award that recognizes excellence in social media for almost 3,000 different categories. Those categories include celebrity, blogger, food and one of our favorites, green. While every category can have a sponsor, you know we've never really been happy with just putting our name on something.

We take action!

So we plan to guerrilla sponsor the Shorty Awards in the category of green by planting a tree for every #green vote the winner gets, regardless who wins. That said, we hope you will vote for Jerry James Stone, who we are officially endorsing, by clicking here or tweeting the following:

• Retweet 2 Plant a Tree! Give @jerryjamesstone a Shorty Award in #green because #GreenFest plants a tree for every vote the winner gets

• Please RT and join me nominating @JerryJamesStone for a #green Shorty Award because #GreenFest plants a tree for every #green vote

Why Jerry? Read all about Jerry's green accomplishments and why we chose to back him.

So, let’s green the #green category! We would love it if you would place your vote and plant a tree today (or before February 12)!
