Tune in to MTV today to catch a piece on several boys from New York City’s Collegiate School who are doing something to increase their green! They are just one group of teens out of many that are taking action to create a more eco-efficient environment and competing to win $5,000 in Increase Your Green (IYG) funding.

The team has worked on greening up their school by taking steps to improve their recycling system, using 100% recyclable paper products, eliminating plastic trays from their cafeteria, cutting down on light consumption, and much more!

Check out our Q&A with the Collegiate boys to learn about their most creative, go-greening initiative yet, and get a sneak peek of Nick Cannon and MTV News' visit to their school. Encourage your peers to join you in an IYG mission and submit your projects by April 22 to compete in the contest!
