Thank you for playing our Earth Day 2012 Annual Trivia Contest.

1. We received plenty of feedback on just how challenging this contest was. 
   
   
2. We wanted to raise the stakes this year because like Kermit the Frog says, "It's not so easy being green." 
   
   
3. The good news is that we have two winners!  And, our next contest is sure to be much easier. 
   
   
4. So, congratulations go out to Elana and Cathleen who met the challenge of this contest and proved that despite Kermit's expression, we are up to the task!
• Getting clean is a good thing. Even the most happily dirty amongst us, from time to time, wants to be clean. The Peanuts character "Pig Pen" gets clean one time to impress another character.  Who is this other character?  Violet

• Sun & Earth is known to get on our soapbox to espouse the greatness of our green cleaning products, like how loud we get about our fabulous All Purpose Cleaner. Some people take a different approach.  This man has made great statements but in silence.  Who is he and for how many years was he silent? John Francis

• • Here at Sun and Earth we ship our products to homes and businesses all over the country. We spend a lot of time with boxes. We use them for shipping and packing - we cut them, we tape them, we fold them. We know a little about boxes. What YouTube video features a band in a room of boxes?: "Little Boxes" by Walk Off The Earth

  • "What's in a name?" asks Shakespeare.  Show your literary acumen and unscramble the following name to find a leading environmentalist.  Joe McDonnell

  • "Far out, man. This righteous Earth Day is to the max, you dig?" Solve the cryptogram for a great Earth Day tune.  "Let the Sunshine In" from  musical Hair

• We get our lovely Sun & Earth citrus scent from real oranges from fabulous orange groves. We applaud people who protect sustainable plant life here on Earth.

Freeman Lowell and the robots Huey, Dewey, and Louie

• "All the world wants to laugh" sings Donald O'Connor. Sometimes comics are also known for contributions beyond their jokes. One cartoonist, in particular, published in a paper in 1969 a new symbol.

• Earth Day. We like to enjoy ourselves with games, promotions and fun-spirited activities. Earth Day goes deeper than that and no one understands that better than this man. What is the name of his new planet? Bill McKibben’s “new” planet is "Eaarth" (sic!) 
• We see good things happening all around us on our Earth. Who built this green home? Habitat for Humanity and Drury University built this sustainable home.
