KUOW is taking applications for participants in a "biggest carbon loser" competition.
"KUOW is launching a new reality-radio contest: Three contestants (individuals or teams) will compete to be the Biggest Carbon Loser by reducing their carbon footprint and helping save the climate," according to the application for the contest posted by the KUOW on a Google form.
"We especially want to hear from folks who are NOT already living a heroic green and clean lifestyle. Do you drive your car (or SUV) every day? Great. Is meat usually on the menu? Fantastic. Frequent flyer? You're perfect!"
An article by Kristin Leong, John Ryan, and Liz Jones includes additional details about the search for contestants and the contest, scheduled to take place in January and February of 2020. Applications close on December 15.
