LIFE - my first contest!

Tomorrow is Earth Day! I'm very exciting and look forward to doing something special with Gwen... maybe a trip to the nearby state park for a picnic and some fresh air. I think I'm also going to plant something in her honor.

So, to celebrate Gwen's first Earth Day, and reward you all for sticking around through my Earth Day extravaganza this week... I'm hosting my first contest ever!
I'm really excited for this contest, and for this great prize. I almost want to keep it for myself!   ;-)   One lucky winner will receive*:

Life, Disc 1

The earth is home to more than 30 million different animals and plants – every single one in its own fight for survival. From the makers of PLANET EARTH and narrated by global media leader and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey, the epic television series LIFE is the definitive exploration of our planet’s living things and their spectacular, bizarre and fascinating behaviors.

More than four years in the making, with over 3,000 days of filming in the field by 70 camerapersons, LIFE spans every continent and every habitat. This episode will showcase the exhaustive and remarkable efforts by the LIFE filmmaking team to bring the breathtaking images of intimate animal and plant behavior to the screen. The latest in HD filmmaking techniques capture never-before-seen images while ensuring that natural behavior was not disturbed. Ingenious new cameras and filming platforms were invented for the series, including a “yogi cam,” which allowed a camera to track smoothly alongside migrating reindeer and elephants, and a “flying” camera that used intricate cable rigging to provide a “butterfly-eye” perspective of hundreds of thousands of Monarch butterflies in Mexico.

Ironically enough, PECO will be helping me get a little greener today. They are coming out to my house to do an energy audit... it helps them to report on how accurate their meters are recording, and it helps us to see where we can be saving energy. I'm very excited! Maybe a little too excited... we'll see how it actually goes. ;-)



* This is a pre-order, the DVD doesn't come out until the 1st of June... so the winner will receive their prize by mid-June.

  1. Firstly, I have to say I watched Life on tv and it's a great program!

    What I have planned to celebrate Earth Day this year is: We're headed out to Home Depot shortly to get some planters, soil and seeds. I'm completely psyched about growing my own veggies!! Also maybe a flower if I'm lucky :)

    About the PECO thing, I would be super excited too!! Maybe we're just 'green' heads or something but I always get excited about saving a bit here and there :) Good luck! I hope it goes well :) Wish me luck on my veggie growing too!!

  3. I will not print anything out tomorrow on my printer. I will also email out to my department to do the same. Just ask Travis how hard it is for accounts not to print anything for a day! This will be the first time I actively do something on earth day. Thanks for the motivation!

  7. Thanks for popping by again today and mention this great giveaway! Looks like a wonderful program.

    I've spent my Earth Day outside as much as possible. Walked the kids home from school, grilling dinner tonight, and enjoying some beautiful green roses that arrived for an upcoming review.

    Happy Earth Day to you too!
