2011 Award winners

Thank you to everyone who took part in this year's TOTAL Green School Awards. It is clear from all of the entries that your projects brought smiles to over 21,000 children across the country as they took care of the planet and were inspired by nature!

Altogether this year schools have reduced the waste in their lunchboxes, cut down on littering, planted vegetables, learnt animal husbandry, reduced their energy use, recycled countless materials and created many new wildlife habitats. The impact of these projects is invaluable as children learn how to look after the earth and nature.

The entries get better every year, and this year was no exception, projects ranged from milk bottle raft races, setting up shops and raising endangered fish to news reporting and organising environmental campaigns! Projects involved people from the local community, and sometimes even people in other countries and continents. Let's take a look at the regional winners and their projects:
