1% For the Planet Donation Contest

Don't forget to write that gear review. Now through the end of the year, Trailspace is holding a 1% Percent For the Planet donation contest. Here's how it works:

1. Write a valid gear review on Trailspace now through December 31, 2007.
2. We'll randomly select one reviewer out of all the valid entries.
3. The randomly-selected winner will tell us which environmental group, out of more than 1,500 in 1% For the Planet's worldwide network, deserves $250.
4. We'll send that approved environmental group $250 in the winner's name.

This is your chance to do some good for your favorite environmental cause, on our dime.
