Today we can announce that we have invited 100 competitors through to the next stage of the Big Green Challenge. We’ve chosen the groups with the most innovative ideas and who we think really stand a chance of reducing CO2 emissions in their communities.
Picking the groups wasn’t easy, and we hope those who aren’t going through to the next stage keep working on their ideas and taking action. Climate change presents us with some big problems. It also presents us with an opportunity to think differently about the ways we organise our lives. If the enthusiasm, commitment and creativity shown by all the Big Green Challenge groups across the UK is anything to go by, we really have a chance of using this opportunity to create postitive change.
Looking through our list of competitors, I hope you’ll find an idea you can be inspired by, or a group to support. All the entrants have the potential to make an important impact on tackling climate change, and anyone supporting the Big Green Challenge will contribute to the success of the projects.
Getting ready to announce our Big Green Challengers!
On Friday we will be announcing which of the 359 applications to the Big Green Challenge we have invited to stage 2 of the competition. The stage 2 competitors will be looking at how to make their ideas reality by putting together detailed projects plans, with advice from UnLtd, Cred and others. Each of the stage 2 competitors will have a chance of becoming one of our 10 Finalists. We’ll be listing the Big Green Challengers on this website, so check out the list from Friday.
