WE’VE WON!! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR VOTES. The project will install solar panels on three community buildings in the village in order to reduce carbon emissions. The project will also offset the village’s carbon footprint by planting trees throughout the community with the assistance of local school children and villagers.

This project is a real double win. It will save tons and tons of carbon. AND it will provide a guaranteed income every year for 25 years that can be spent on classroom assistants, clubs for the elderly, etc. That's real sustainability!

This project aims to capture carbon planting trees, and fit solar panels to community buildings to create income for the community. The project wants to show and inspire other communites to do the same!
