CSXT launches The Tomorrow Moves contest

CSX Transportation is searching for the next big environmental idea with The Tomorrow Moves Project contest on Facebook. The company is encouraging individuals to "like" its Facebook page and submit an idea that describes how they would help protect the environment for tomorrow. A panel of judges will choose two winners who will each receive a $5,000 cash prize. By issuing a direct challenge to anyone with an interest in safeguarding our environmental future one action at a time, the company will engage a broader online audience and generate creative thoughts around solutions for the environment. "Freight rail is a proven leader in terms of transporting freight in an environmentally responsible way," said Carl Gerhardstein, assistant vice president, environmental systems and sustainability at CSXT and one of the judges for the contest. "The Tomorrow Moves Project will advance the ongoing discussion about environmental leadership and identify at least two individuals who are promising leaders in the green arena." Those who are interested in entering the contest can do so by "liking" the official CSXT Facebook page and in 200 words or less, tell CSXT what they would do to help protect the environment for tomorrow. Contest entrants can also upload a photo to support their entry. All entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 13 to be eligible. The 10 entries with the most votes from the public will be reviewed by the judges, who will select two final winners on May 19.
