BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2006--While your friends are lining up for a summer gig flipping burgers, you could be packing your bags for student action camp, courtesy of Seventh Generation. The folks who bring you eco-friendly laundry detergent and recycled toilet paper have partnered with natural food stores and Greenpeace to introduce 100 students from around the U.S. to Greenpeace's particular brand of environmental and social campaigning.

This Earth Day and every day through April, log onto www.changeit06.org or visit a participating retailer to apply or nominate someone you know for a shot at one of one hundred full scholarships to Change It, a grassroots educational training program that's guaranteed to change your outlook, and if Seventh Generation has anything to say about it, the future. Slated for July 28-August 3 this summer in Washington, D.C., the week-long intensive program will focus on hot button environmental and social issues and feature high profile trainers and guest lecturers. No final exam, but expect to pull all-nighters in coursework like campaign strategy, message development, lobbying, media training and peaceful demonstrations.
