This Month's Challenge
Starting Up
Each month our households will be set a challenge to help them address a different area of their environmental impact.
The challenges will range from zero waste week to the allocation of personal carbon allowances. They will explore reducing electricity, water and fuel use, eating seasonal and local foods, biodiversity, skills trading and a 'no new purchases' month...
For some, hard data will enable the GreenHouse panel to pick out a Challenge Champion with ease. For others, the most innovative ideas and ambitious efforts will triumph.
But, it's not only our households who can take up the challenge! Click here to find out how you can take part...
