The Weather Channel is providing 20 free trips to Washington D.C. as the prize for an environmental essay contest on the topic of what you’re doing to save the planet.

The trip is part of The Weather Channel’s Forecast Earth Summit, a conference for select future environmental leaders held December 5-7. During last year’s Summit, participants created a boat made entirely of recycled materials, including 200 plastic bottles.
