WIN! a pair of cool recycled Grolsch bottle goblets!

Enjoy your summer drinks in style with this pair of goblets made from recycled Grolsch bottles!

CLICK HERE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN!

These great environmentally friendly goblets are made from the iconic 450ml swing top Grolsch beer bottle, transformed into stylish and unique drinking glasses.

Grolsch goblets take recycling to the next level. They are made by first cutting away the base of the bottle, polishing the edges and then bonding the base to the neck to form the foot. Hey presto, an upside down beer bottle glass!

As the glasses aren't melted down, they save 90% of the energy normally used to make recycled glass.

Drinking from them is a delight and they'll make for a great talking point at your next party or summer barbeque!

The competition is open until 11pm on August 4th and is free to enter to anyone who registers with the Big Green Switch website. Other terms & conditions apply.

Did you make the LEAP?

Tonnes of CO2 emissions could be cut as a result of pledges made to the Big Green Switch's Make the LEAP towards a greener lifestyle campaign.

Our campaign asked everyone to think of this year's leap day as an extra day in their lives and to pledge to put some time aside to do something green on the day.

We've been inundated with pledges from all over the UK from people pledging to do everything from fitting low energy light bulbs and starting compost heaps to foil-backing radiators and installing water butts.

Make the LEAP towards a greener lifestyle on February 29th!

As 2008 is a leap year, we all have an extra day to play with today. But, as it only comes around once every four years, rather than treating today as "just another day", why not make the most of it and do something special?

The Big Green Switch is inviting you to make a pledge to do something green during Feb 29th.

While many people are keen to do their bit to help the environment, they often say that they just don't seem to find the time to take the action they need to. So why not think of February 29th as an extra day in your life and use it to put some time aside to do something positive and green!

Make your pledge and let's all use our extra day to make the leap to a smarter, greener lifestyle!
