[edit] Action Ideas

• Traffic surveys
• Clean up days
• Let's clean our city - a project being developed in the Open Project Development wiki
• A green “Britain in Bloom” competition. While public interest in climate change issues has soared in recent years, people’s behaviour has not become substantially greener. Lewis Dean, a PHD student from the University of St Andrews, has proposed a new Greener British Future competition along the lines of “Britain in Bloom” in which communities would compete on their ‘greenness’. This idea was awarded fourth place in The Britain’s got Brains competition (2008) ^[1]
