Eco-conscious folks who love to travel, this giveaway is for you: Enter Your Daily Thread's contest to win a chance at a carbon-free trip to Peru to see Machu Picchu by answering the question, "Why does traveling make the world a better place?"
Get the chance to travel along the Inca Trail and marvel at one of the wonders of the world without having to worry about your carbon footprint along the way (well, except for maybe the plane ride to get there, unless you plan on renting an electric car or riding a bike there). All you have to do is create a one minute video or 100-word blog post answering the above question, and sign up for YDT's and Intrepid Travel’s weekly newsletter — both of which are green-related sites, so you probably won't mind them in your inbox.
YDT's contest rules:
Create a 1 minute video or 100 word blog post answering the question, “Why does traveling make the world a better place? Mail a you tube link/video link of the video or your blog post submission to submit@yourdailythread.com

Winner will also be required to document travels through photo and blog recap after completion of the trip (video is optional).
