Project Green Prom

Oh prom season!  Time to reserve a corsage, buy a new dress, amp up your makeup, book a stretch limo… The Works!  With so many choices to manufacture about the big night, caring about the environment might not automatically be a high priority.

Being green at prom is actually really easy, and the teams at Teens Turning Green and Whole Foods Market are working together to boost teens around the country to see just how easy and stylish it is to construct thoughtful, earth-friendly decisions and purchases around prom season.

The program, called Project Green Prom, kicks off that week with a fun online video contest for high school juniors and seniors where they are encouraged to post creative three-minute videos that reply the question “How would you ‘green’ your prom?”

Essentially, teens submit videos within now and March 30th via www.teensturninggreen.org that talk about things like how they use organic and eco-friendly makeup, what their dream sustainable

prom dress would be by their favorite designer, how they would like to see a zero waste event at their high school, etc.

The videos will be judged by fashion, beauty and green experts including model/activist Summer Rayne Oakes, Teen Vogue beauty editor Eva Chen and John Masters of John Masters Organics among others, where they will decide who will win a variety of prizes including eco-prom dresses from top fashion designers, including Bahar Shahpar and Lara Miller, sustainable beauty products, and even a trip to NYC and a Full Green Prom Makeover for the grand prize winner, and more.
