How to enlist

Ten teams of four flatties** will go head to head in their quest to save dosh, save the world and win prizes. BIG prizes.

Six workshops over eight weeks will provide tips, tricks and ideas on stretching the student dollar. At the end of each workshop teams will receive a clue, which must be solved to reveal the next location.

Teams will be given video cameras to document their eco adventures and asked to contribute 50 words per week for an online blog. Other students and members of the Palmerston North community will vote for their favourite videos on the Student City website and provide support along the way.

Points will be collected, spot prizes will be dished out and changes will be made. Will you be part of the eco action?

You don't have to be a card-carrying eco warrior to participate, you just have to be up for the challenge.

** If you only have three flatmates grab another friend to complete your team.

Entries have closed for 2012. Keep your eyes open for the next Eco-battle in 2013.
