Alright, here’s the deal. You’re just coming back from summer vacation, tan, fit, and ready to go. Unfortunately, your school’s not as fit as you are. It’s still guzzling up mad amounts of carbon and definitely could use a serious weight-loss regime.

That’s where ACE comes in. Our experts have spent all summer cooking up a sweet new carbon-cutting competition designed exclusively to help your school lose that unnecessary weight. Ever seen that TV show “The Biggest Loser” where people compete against each other to see who can lose the most weight? Well now ACE has their very own version, but for carbon loss. Introducing ACE’s Biggest Loser: Energy competition, where it’s cool to be a loser.

It’s the coolest competition of the season, the must-do activity for you and your Action Team. Plus, whichever Action Team sheds the most pounds of carbon wins a $1,000 grant. Cha-Ching!

Here are the contest deets:

1. Sign up at least 5 classrooms and ask teachers how many hours the lights and electronics are on.
2. Plug those numbers into the Biggest Loser Carbon Calculator.
3. Submit your First Weigh-In results to ACE. After that you’ll officially be entered into the competition. The deadline for the First Weigh-In is November 4.
4. Hit the Gym and bust out Bonus Projects like Slaying Energy Vampires and making lights-out signs. The more projects you do, the better your chances of winning Biggest Loser.
5. After 4 weeks submit your Final Weigh-In Results. The Final Weigh-In deadline is December 9.
6. Bam, congrats on being a loser!

It’s super fun, super easy, and super cool. Start being a loser today because hey, all the cool kids are doing it.
