Children are increasingly passionate about championing green initiatives at home and at school, so we want you to send in videos documenting you and your children's great ideas for helping the environment. It could be anything from a poster, a song, a great energy-saving tip or an idea for building a better compost heap! The more innovative and creative the better. Send us your filmed video responses to this YouTube channel by 19 July 2009 and we will send you an email asking you to confirm your details. Once we receive your response, you will be entered into the competition and a panel of judges will pick the most engaging idea and video star who will win their family a £3000 eco home and garden makeover. The winner will be selected as the entrant who, in the opinion of the judges, has communicated their passion for helping the environment in the most impressive way.

Here is an introductory video by Philippa Forrester, plus some short films to inspire you from the children at Wendell Park Primary School in London.

Entry is restricted to UK residents. Children aged under 16 must have the permission of a parent/guardian to take part. For full terms and conditions of the competition, how to enter and eligibility of entrants, please visit http://www.persil.com/cppyo...
