Use a fluorescent, you'll feel effervescent.
Dirty streets, dirty feet, clean perspective

About the Project
What can you say about yourself in just six words? In its new book, Not Quite What I was Planning: Six Word Memoirs from Writers Famous and Obscure, SMITH Magazine offers hundreds of minuscule yet insightful life stories. And now the short, short life story sensation is going green.
The contest is now closed, but keep submitting your green life stories! We were so impressed with your submissions that we're keeping this project open to see if we can't possibly share your stories with the world as a book.
SMITH and TreeHugger challenge you to define your green life in just six words. Got a swell philosophy? Traveled a strange path? Fall off the eco-wagon often? Lay your tiny tale on us and you could win a copy of SMITH's new book, a Planet Earth DVD set, or even an iPod nano (personalized with your winning submission, of course). Everyone on this big, blue marble has a green story. So, what's yours?
About The Book

Surprisingly addictive, Not Quite is both a moving peek at the minutia of humanity and the most literary toilet reading you’ll ever find.
