Guardian Green Living Awards
The Guardian’s Green Living Awards scheme is giving away cash awards to individuals who want to run innovative environmental projects in their local communities or on a larger scale. Amounts range from up to £5,000 to help start projects to £20,000 to expand existing projects. The seven themes for the green living awards are: improving urban green spaces; recycling; green transport; local food initiatives; campaigning; alternative energy; and the ‘lightbulb’ category, for exceptional ideas that don’t fit any of the other categories.
