Winning school
Hellesdon High School, Norfolk won the npower Climate Cops 2008 green prize fund of
£20,000 for their school. These intrepid youngsters lobbied local shopkeepers to
ban bags, securing 23 out of 56 local stores to say no to plastic!
Two runner up schools, each receiving a £10,000 green prize fund for their school.
Penrice Community College, Cornwall - for their fight to make house numbers clearer
to help the emergency services and reduce carbon emissions of delivery vans.
Gateways School, Leeds - students worked with the Women's Institute and the world's
fastest speed knitter to make recycled fashion items.
Well done to all 100 students and their teachers in making a real difference to
their
local environment by engaging their local community members! Keep up the good
work, Climate Cops!
