We’ve mentioned this contest before. Now there is just one day left in the Freewayblogger slogan contest.
Freewayblogger is looking for slogans about climate change for his next tour. Slogans should be short, smart, fit well into a rectangle, and look good in traffic.
The winner of the best slogan earns $1,000. Second and third places get $500 and $250, respectively. All winning entries get their slogans posted on freeways up and down the west coast.

So far the entries have been well-meaning but a bit toothless – (“Global Warming is not Cool!”, “Respect Mother Earth”, fracking puns, etc.) My theory is that the sort of wry cynicism it takes to make for good sloganeering is the same sort that keeps people from entering contests…
Probably the best so far has been “Climate Change = Primate Change”.
What I’m looking for ideally is the climate change equivalent of a word like “Frankenfood” – that one simple word or phrase that practically forces people to think about things more critically. (Whoever came up with “Frankenfood” is a big hero of mine – man they cost some rich people a bunch of money…)
Send entries to freewayblogger – at – yahoo – dot – com. The deadline is tomorrow…March 15th.
It’s awfully hard to get poetic about the dangers of global warming on a cold, rainy March in the Seattle area. Right now I’m dreaming of warm beaches in faraway places….

Slogan: “Screw the Few”
