Win an iPad: Tell us your ‘Environmental Turkey of 2012′
by Bill Chameides | November 21st, 2012posted by Wendy Graber (Researcher)
Only catch: It’s gotta be in a limerick like this one:
Two thousand twelve, oh what a mess
Dirty ads, gridlock, but I digress
When it comes to green
Little progress was seen
Who’s the turkey to blame for this mess?
Need a refresher on the rules of limerick writing. Try here.
Remember an iPad is on the line and all you have to do to have a chance to win it is nominate your candidate for environmental turkey of 2012 in a limerick.
You have until midnight on Monday the 26th. Enter contest here.

Sorry, I can’t come up with an ‘environmental turkey’ but is enjoyed reading the one you’ve posted here.
I agree with Michael
capture the ash now, NC scientist Kemal Burkay is from “Turkey” but is far from being one.
A limerick for shale gas:
A shale rock, limited by diffusion
Sold as productive, without any confusion
By fracking it splits
And groundwater it spritz
As a bridge, we’re just left in dilution
Sorry, kind of transport and fate-y
