You have until noon tomorrow (Thursday, Pacific Time) to publish up to 10 high-quality Hubs, each worth 3 points, that must:

• be on the topic of the environment; remember, keep it informative and useful, and *not* your personal feelings/experiences about the environment and ecology; (here are just some examples "Plants that yield biofuels", "Comparison of solar cell technologies", "Measuring your carbon footprint", "Cap-and-Trade vs. Carbon Tax", etc.)
• include the tag environment
• have at least 300 words (no credit for 299 so you might as well overshoot)
• be unique and significantly different from any other Hub or Web page.

Of course, it must comply with our Terms of Use (not overly promotional, adult, etc.) Keep in mind that in judging, we're looking for Hubs that are informative, interesting, engaging and unique.

BONUS! For each eligible point for the day's contest, you will win one entry into a daily drawing for $100! Read the HubLove Official Contest Thread for more information.

As always, we look forward to seeing the entries!

Also, look later in the day for the updated tally of points on the HubLove Contest page.
