We’re looking for examples of a problem that plagues each and every one of us. Yes, that unsightly tangle of wires, black bricks and wall warts that supply your computer, printer, phone, desk lamp…and who knows what else.

This sweepstakes is simple. Look under your desk and take a snap of what you find there. Send it to us at GPsweepstakes@gmail.com and we’ll post it. Be sure to write a suitable caption for your picture! Or mail us your entry at the address in the official rules.

We’ll randomly select the winners on Earth Day 2008, April 22. (EXTENDED TO MAY 1, 2008)

First prize is lunch in Beverly Hills with “green advocates” Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry, co-hosts of the VH-1 reality show, “My Fair Brady.” The second place winner will receive a $500 gift certificate to Wal-Mart, while Green Plug will make a $250 donation to the third place winner’s favorite green nonprofit organization. Your tangle of inefficient cords and cables could be worth the chance to make a real difference this Earth Day. See official rules for prize details.
