100 UK groups close in on Big Green Challenge £1m

The time has come to announce the 100-strong shortlist of UK groups competing to earn a share of the million-pound Big Green Challenge prize fund.

The big green ideas shortlisted range from a ‘Carbon Watchers’ club to monitor CO2 emissions in Yorkshire and a Sussex prison’s bio-fuels production scheme, to the creation of a volunteer workforce in the West Midlands to help local people take energy-efficient measures in their homes and a virtual farmer’s market in Bristol.

You can find out more about the selected groups on the Big Green Challenge website. Hopefully you’ll find an idea among the shortlist that you could build on, or a nearby group to cheer on!
