| GCNS on Target in Stirlingshire | ||
Going Carbon Neutral Stirling has succeeded in engaging with 107 business and community groups, more than 50 of which are now actively working on GCNS Carbon Cutter Plans. The plans, which include a variety of energy and waste-saving suggestions, are designed to be as all-inclusive as possible and bring about real behavioural change amongst the groups that agree to start them. GCNS is currently active in the city of Stirling and surrounding communities and will shortly be starting its work in Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, Doune, Deanston, Ashfield and Callander to take its ideas to a greater part of the population and show what benefits carbon reduction can bring.

| Rotary Young Photographer of the Year 2009 | ||
The Young Photographer of the Year 2009 Competition, run by the Rotary and supported by Keep Scotland Beautiful, offered youngsters who live within Rotary International District 1020 area the opportunity to enter their photographs in one of three age group categories – under 12, 12-15 and 16-18. The theme for this years’ competition was ‘Environmental Impact’, which allowed a broad interpretation of subject matter, and judges were looking for imagination and style, as well as technical merit, content and composition. Seven year old Rachel Collingswood from North Berwick, won not only her age category but also the overall top prize for her photo titled ‘Bag Free?’. For a list of all winners, and images of their winning photos, please visit our newsreel. For information about the competition, please visit Rotary Young Photographer of the Year 2009. |
