The Big Green Challenge is ot just about the groups and approaches that go on to win - it's as much about bringing people and their ideas together to showcase what is possible.
Over the past three days we've already had a brilliant response and loads of interest in the Big Green Challenge. David and Anne highlight just some of the ethusiasm in the UK for trying to tackle climate change. I agree with David's suggestion that there are many sparks of exciting activity taking place across the UK at the moment.
The Big Green Challenge hopes to give some of these sparks an opportunity to really take off by proving the impact they can have. It's also not just about the groups and approaches that go on to win - the Big Green Challenge is as much about bringing the sparks together to showcase what is possible and to generate a feeling, across the whole of the UK, that people can and do have the ingenuity to work together to come up with solutions to tackle the major issues that affect us all.
As well as being a chance to find out more about the Big Green Challenge, the regional events we're running over the next couple of months will be a good chance to meet other people working on related projects in your region - so make sure you're signed up to find out about the event nearest to you.
