TeenNick chairman Nick Cannon is teaming up with DoSomething and HP to challenge teens to find new and innovative ways to conserve energy and reduce waste in their schools.

The new Increase Your Green campaign is encouraging teens nationwide to “green” their schools by developing creative plans to engage their classmates and address environmental issues at school.

In addition to traditional green projects, such as recycling programs and community gardens, DoSomething.org is encouraging teens to explore ways to use technology to go green. “The environment is all over the headlines and at the top of everyone’s mind. It’s important for teens to know that their actions locally make a huge difference on this global issue,” Nick shared in a press release.

The eight-week campaign will run from February 15 through Earth Day on April 22, is expected to engage over 100,000 teens. A panel of judges, including Nick, will evaluate the entries based on creativity, innovation, reduction in waste, energy saved and number of students involved. The best use of technology will be an important criterion for selecting campaign winners. The winners will receive up to $5,000 in funding and an HP Artist Edition notebook to carry out their plan.

Thanks to support from the National Grid Foundation, the campaign’s founding sponsor, Increase Your Green will offer additional prize opportunities of up to $1,500 to students in the National Grid Foundation’s service territory. To learn how to get involved or for more information about environmental issues, visit IncreaseYourGreen.org.

David Archuleta is set to join the Spanish recording of “We Are The World,” according to Billboard.com.

Matt Damon – The Importance Of Giving!

Matt Damon pens an original article on the importance of giving in the latest issue of Parade.

The 39-year-old actor has visited places such as Africa, India, and Haiti to try to learn what conditions are like. He writes, “You can read about extreme poverty and possible solutions, but it’s really powerful when you get to meet the people and shake their hands and listen to their stories. I try to keep my trips short because my kids are so young that my wife, Lucy, can’t come. We don’t like to be separated, but we both feel it’s so important to learn about these things. There’s so much I don’t know. In the future, I know these trips are something we’ll do as a family.”

Go Trick-Or-Treating With Selena Gomez!

Selena Gomez is ready for Halloween to come.

This October, I would like to encourage everyone to make a difference and support UNICEF’s mission to reduce the number of daily preventable deaths of children, from 25,000 to zero.”

As part of the campaign and to get people involved, Selena will also be donating four VIP tickets to one of her upcoming concerts with backstage meet-and-greet access to the highest bidder through a Charity Buzz auction. Running through November 11, the highest bidder will also receive an autographed CD and all proceeds will benefit the Trick-Or-Treat for UNICEF campaign.
