B&Q's One Planet Living Awards 2009 (UK)
B&Q has announced that the One Planet Living Awards for 2009 are now open for applications. Through the scheme, awards of up to £10,000 of B&Q products are available to environmental groups, community organisations, schools, charities or sports clubs, etc across the UK and Ireland which are working on projects that aim to enhance the local community or help return to the One Planet Living.
One Planet Living aims to support activities to reduce the impact we are having on the world's natural resources. One Planet Living is based on the premise that if we continue to live as we do in the UK, we will need three planets to maintain our way of life. To be eligible, community-based projects must fall within one of the following categories:
· Save energy
· Conserve nature
· Support local culture & heritage
· Grow your own.
B&Q are looking to support 40 projects:
· 1 of £10,000
· 4 of £5,000
· 35 of £2,000
The deadline for applications is 27 March 2009.
