Back in November of 2006 Green Day and the National Resource Defense Counsel (NRDC) announced a major campaign, Move America Beyond Oil, to mobilize and empower music fans to demand clean, renewable energy solutions that break our dangerous dependence on oil.

The official Green Day + NRDC site shows fans how to take action. Check out the You Tube video below to hear from the band about being part of the solution:

On August 18, 2008 Green Day announced a photo contest on their MySpace page asking fans to take photos of themselves taking action.  From the page…

We want to create a new photo album, and we want your help.  Send us a photo of yourself taking action to help the environment… a photo of you taking public transportation, checking the air pressure in your tires, picking up trash some idiot left on the beach… be creative.  Show us how YOU protect the environment.

The prizes:
A promo photograph signed by Green Day and an Adeline pack (This goes to our favorite photo!)
