  • Schools

    In the build up to Green Britain Day, leading Olympic and Paralympics athletes made special visits to schools across Britain to find out how pupils are using resources and materials from www.jointhepod.org, EDF Energy's Programme for Greener Schools, to help the school reduce its impact on the environment.

  • Supporters

    Pledges for a greener future from hundreds of school children, Olympians and celebrities were displayed on the back of pedal-bikes and cycled into London to be presented to Greg Barker MP, Minister of State for the Department for Energy and Climate Change.

  • Events

    Green Britain Day kicked off a summer of events aimed at encouraging greener, healthier, cheaper and more local living, with 12 locations across the UK being treated to the Team Green Britain experience.
