Welcome! The Big Green Challenge is a really worthwhile reason to get together with your neighbours, a local club or find like-minded people to join with.
Climate change affects everybody, so having a prize that rewards communities and groups for working together to tackle it makes perfect sense.

1. Think creatively! I always try and come up with new ways of dealing with problems in my work. The best ideas are those which are innovative
2. Do you belong to any kind of group, club, society or association? Speak to the people you see regularly and encourage them to get involved
3. Take a look at what’s around you. Have you seen a good ‘green’ idea and thought you could make it better?
4.Think about the barriers to ‘going green’ - what is it that stops you from taking up existing ideas?
5. Even if you don’t already take part community activities, pester your friends, family and colleagues to join forces with you to come up with ideas
6. Have you got a friend or colleague who’s always dreaming up good ideas? Well join them to think about climate change and make an idea happen!
7. Remember the winning ideas, that groups can prove work, will be rewarded with cash
8. Visit the website of NESTA’s Big Green Challenge to register, find out more and get some inspiration: www.biggreenchallenge.org.uk
9. Try and think beyond the obvious - turning off lights and walking rather than driving are good ideas for saving energy, but something more is needed to achieve a 60% reduction in carbon emissions within your community.
10. Try and get other groups in your community to take part, and turn it into a local competition.
