Green finals

TWO Hampshire schools have made it into the final of a national environmental competition launched by TV personalities Fearne Cotton, pictured, and Piers Morgan.

Cantell Maths and Computing College, in Southampton, and Henry Cort Community College, in Fareham, were among just ten schools across Britain to be shortlisted in the npower Green SOS competition.

The Year 7 students had to identify a local environmental project in their community that needed help and make a short video about the project.

The project identified by Cantell was to encourage people to switch off and save energy. The students will monitor energy usage and look to invest in energy monitors.

Henry Cort students want to encourage recycling across their school, from classrooms to the kitchen.

As finalists, the students will receive £1,000 to help their team solve their project, a video camera to document their progress and a five-day green Outward Bound course at Ullswater, in the Lake District.

They will also sharpen up on their media skills with a training day run by Britain's Got Talent judge and former Mirror editor Piers Morgan.

The winning project will be selected in 2009 and will receive £20,000 for a green' school makeover. Each of the ten participating students will receive a Mac notebook.

BRAINWASHING.
Ice not melting, increasing. Polar bears not struggling, thriving. Temperature not increasing, decreasing. Stick that in your carbon pipe and smoke it.

Its the sun, its the sun, its the sun.

Run by Qiers Morgan, formerly of The Daily Mirror ! I bought one once (when the shop ran out of newspapers) it was utter tosh.

It's the sun that's causing these problems you claim don't exist? Like it wasn't R. Kelly in that video, not having sex with a girl who wasn't underage?

I agree the green thing is being sexed up massively, and in particular man's part in it. But lets not say it's simultaneously not happening AND being caused by something else. Only gives fuel to the brainwashers!
