This back-to-school season, we're teaming up with EARTH University to give our customers a chance to win a trip to Costa Rica to visit EARTH University's lush campus in Guácimo, Limón. We think this field trip knocks the socks off the planetarium, the post office and — believe it or not — the zoo.

Five winners will embark on a seven-day Costa Rican adventure where they will:

• Experience EARTH's hands-on approach to education in sustainable agriculture, responsible business and community development.
• Get their hands dirty working on the university's farm where the creamy, responsibly-produced Whole Trade EARTH University bananas are grown.
• Discover how EARTH's innovative growing, packaging and shipping methods are helping to save our planet's precious resources.
• Explore vibrant Costa Rica, relax on the majestic beaches of Puerto Viejo, sample local cuisine and take a boat trip along the coast in search of dolphins.

For more details on this trip, check out the full itinerary and be sure to enter by September 30, 2011. No purchase necessary.

In this video, EARTH University graduate Pierre Paul Audate talks about how his education is helping him build a better future for his country.
