New School Competition Seeks Creative Ideas on Climate Change
New School Competition Seeks Creative Ideas on Climate Change
Brussels, Belgium (PRWEB) November 30, 2007
The theme of the 2007-2009 competition is Climate Change – Let’s Save Energy! According to the press release published on its website http://www.toyota-media.com it is the second time Toyota has hosted a competition as part of the Eco-Schools’ Environment and Innovation Project, which encourages students to identify and tackle environmental problems in partnership with their school and community.
“Toyota Motor Europe, via the Toyota Fund for Europe, is delighted once again to partner and sponsor the Environment and Innovation Project,” said Graham Smith, Senior Vice-President of Toyota Motor Europe and Chairman of the Toyota Fund for Europe. “By inviting students to find new ways to reduce energy consumption and encourage cleaner sources of energy, we are helping to tackle the issue of climate change at different levels within communities.”
Toyota Motor Europe and Eco-Schools hope to leverage the success of the first competition held by the Environment and Innovation Project, which awarded a UK primary school the top prize for their innovative idea to reduce local traffic congestion earlier this year.
The Toyota Fund for Europe (TFfE) and Eco-Schools, an international programme of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), have been working together since 2005. The Environment and Innovation Project was originally launched as a pilot programme to promote innovative thinking and environmental education in schools across Europe.
