How’s this for a motivator to start your spring cleaning: a chance to win DJ Hero and a $300 Best Buy gift card.

As part of the Green Music Group Challenge, the Roots are asking us to clean out our closets and give our unwanted clothing and other household items to reuse organizations like Goodwill.

Textiles comprise 4% of the solid waste stream – that’s 68 lbs of clothing per person annually! And we rarely get rid of clothes because they’re worn out. It’s more likely that we’ve changed sizes or decided they weren’t our style after all. Why throw away something that can be reused? Fashion is relative – one person’s junk is another person’s funk. Plus, donating to charities like Goodwill helps give back to the community. Or get more creative with your closet rejects and organize a clothing swap.

Here’s Questlove from the Roots with some words of encouragement:

To get in on the action, take a photo of all the stuff you’re donating and upload your photo to the Green Music Group’s website by noon EDT on Friday, May 21. Make sure you tag your entry with the word “THREE” to qualify for the prize drawing. If you need help finding a donation site, check out the Goodwill locator tool.

This is the third of nine challenges that the Green Music Group and its founding artists are asking us to take to help bring about positive environmental change. In addition to the challenge three prize pack, every entry also gets you a chance to win the grand prize: a Honda Insight Hybrid.

Stay tuned to Rockin’ in the Green World for more opportunities to win.
