Skyride
If you’re interested in keeping fit whilst doing your bit for the environment then check out ‘Skyride’.
Skyride is a joint venture between Sky and British Cycling and involves large numbers of people cycling through the streets of the UK. The streets of five different cities throughout the UK will be closed for the event and you might get the chance to meet some of the GB cycling team. Each host city will also have its own live entertainment. Everybody is welcome to this fun day out and you might just get a sun tan!
The five host cities are Manchester; Hounslow; Glasgow; Leicester; and London. If you want to find out more about each of these events then visit their website provided below. This should tell you all you need to know.
All you have to do to take part is register your details and then you’re ready to ride. Also, do not worry if you are unable to attend one of the events above because Skyride has set up a whole host of locally led-rides.
If you are interested in registering or just want to find out more then follow the link below and all of your questions will be answered.

Play to stop
MTV and the European Commission have organised a competition to raise awareness on Climate Change issues and promote sustainable behaviours.
Through the “Play to Stop” website you can create your profile, involve your friends and express your feelings and concerns relating to Climate Change by posting blogs and videos. This, together with weekly tests you can find on the website, will allow you to gain points, thus giving you the chance to win competitions to attend live performances of some of the most current renowned artists!
The only concern from the Climate Squad team is that winners are flown to attend the gigs! The site features a ‘have your say’ box if you want to comment on this or provide other green messages.
Get involved by checking out the website!

One minute to save the world!
A new competition has been launched to raise awareness about climate change and is open to anyone who feels they have what it takes to create a short 1 minute film that could “save the world”. The entry closes on the 5th October 2009 and the winning entry will be awarded a £1000 prize as well as having their video screened in selected UK cinemas, British Film Institute and at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December.
There has been a huge variety of film entries so far, ranging from solo poetry and rhymes to intense and powerful monologues declaring that adults have known about climate change for years and have done nothing about it, now it is the time for adults to draw the line and decide whether to become either friends or enemies of kids futures.
Other entries have focused on specific problems such as aviation as the fastest growing cause of global warming; this film started with children talking about their future careers, lives and families, who then become drowned out by the sound of an aeroplane flying overhead before ending with “their future is your choice”.
This is a great way for you to use your creative skills and to express your concerns about climate change with the chance of reaching the world leaders at Copenhagen. You also have this chance by getting involved with the Climate Squad “CopArt” volunteer project that is currently underway. Here you will get the opportunity to work with other volunteers and local artists to create a piece of artwork that will be taken to Copenhagen in December. Register you interest with Climate Squad now to find out more!
