If you're a T-Mobile customer, you can enter to win a seriously great eco-makeover for your kitchen, including an organic dinner cooked in your home by celebrity chef Domenica Catelli (you know, from "Oprah and Friends").

Other prizes include:

  • The latest Bosch Energy Star kitchen appliances
  • An organic pantry with 100% eco-friendly products
  • Gift cards for $500 to Safeway & $100 to Lamps Plus
  • A green getaway for two (including airfare and hotel)
  • Eco-friendly Bluetooth headsets from Plantronics

All you have to do is text GREEN to 1619 from your phone, and download the Green Perks app (it's free). That some seriously energy-efficient sweepstakes entering -- human energy-efficient. You don't even have to find a pen.

So, what's the Green Perks app do? It helps you utilize T-Mobile's green partnerships by providing you with discounts on all sorts of eco-friendly products. As we know, sustainability often come with a premium; this app, which Tonic's Marc Hertz announced (along with other T-Mobile green initiatives) here, takes a bite out of that for you.

If you're into that, also check out Ecorio, which helps you track your carbon footprint, and My Happy Planet, which "comes loaded with mini games, puzzles and challenges about reducing pollution and defeating climate change," and donates part of its $0.99 price to Charity: Water.

For more information about the Greener Living Sweepstakes, visit the T-Mobile website.
