Meet Bob the (sustainable) builder. Can he recycle it?

Bob the Builder has been given a green makeover, hoping to hammer home the 'reduce, re-use, recycle' message for today's kids.

With the launch of a scheme called 'Project: renovate', green makeovers will be offered to 12 lucky OfSTED or Local Authority registered nursery schools across the UK. With a little help from Think Insulation and builders Travis Perkins, Bob will create a ‘greener’ environment for each nursery.

Eligible nurseries across the UK will be receiving a pack through the post next week, which explains entry guidelines. It also includes activities to help young children understand building insulation, energy consumption and recycling. The closing date for entries is 31st January 2008.
