Harrogate district's green champions will be enjoying their own celebrations on
4 July, at the prestigious Best Action for the Environment Road Show (BAFTERS' awards), organised by Harrogate Council.
 
Popular BBC weather presenter Paul Hudson will be the special guest at the glitzy ceremony and he will be announcing the prize winners.
 
Paul will present the three main BAFTERS Awards to the local school, community group and business that have shown the best environmental action over the past year.  Outstanding achievement awards for energy action and waste reduction will also be announced.
 
The BAFTERS create the opportunity to reward local people who have taken significant action to help protect the environment.
 
Guests will be given the full red-carpet treatment as they gather at the Swallow St. George Hotel in Harrogate for the event, which will be opened by the Mayor of the Borough of Harrogate (Councillor Caroline Bayliss).
 
Paul Hudson presented the BAFTERS Awards last year, and he is pleased to be returning for the 2005 BAFTERS.
 
He said:  "Nowadays we are faced with more and more environmental problems, like climate change, pollution, and too much waste. "As a weather forecaster, I am constantly reminded of the effects of climate change, when I see fiercer storms, floods, hotter temperatures and other extreme weather.  That's why it's so important to take action now, and every one of us has a part to play.
 
"The BAFTERS awards are a great opportunity for local organisations to get the recognition they deserve for helping to protect and improve our environment and I am pleased to be able to present the awards again this year."
 
The awards, which are sponsored by Yorkshire Water, NEDL, npower and the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, have attracted nominations from:
Schools
All Saints Primary School, Kirkby Overblow,
