The Green Issue The Green Issue is the result of a competition held jointly by
the BBC's Blue Peter programme and the Royal Mail.
Children from a range of age groups were asked to submit their
ideas for stamp relating to the environment.
The winners are:
Christopher Hall (9) – Acid Rain Kills;
Lewis Fowler (6) – Ozone Layer;
Sarah Jo Warren (7) – Greenhouse Effect;
Alice Newton-Mold (12) – Bird of Hope.
Their concepts were adapted with minimal changes for the final
stamp designs.
The submissions by entrants from across the United Kingdom cover
every imaginable green issue, range from the optimistic to the
pessimistic and are expressed in words as well as pictures.
Royal Mail is committed to minimising the impact
of its operations on the environment by means of a programme of
continuous improvement.
