The Honda Civic Tour Panic At The Disco Eco-Challenge, a competition seeking essays formulating the best "green" idea, has finally crowned the winner: Laura Gonzalez of Denton, TX, has been selected by Panic at the Disco for her submission's inherent merit and potential lasting effect on the environment. The prize: A brand new fuel efficient Honda Civic Hybrid!
Panic at the Disco had the final word in deciding on Laura as the winner. Says guitarist Ryan Ross: "What Laura wrote about using wind to generate energy really struck a chord with us. It's a simple concept that has the potential to help solve a very complicated problem. We'd like to say 'thank you' to everyone who bought a ticket to the 2008 Honda Civic Tour for not only giving us a lifetime of memories, but for contributing to the most important cause in the world – the world itself."
