In this month's podcast, we hear from the town in Buckinghamshire that created what has just been voted the UK's greenest market, from the Transition initiative in Northern Ireland with 60,000 trees to plant, and from the community that responded to its local council stopping collecting cardboard for recycling by setting up 'cardboard cafes' to do it instead.

In the voting for the 2011 Energyshare funding process, run by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Energyshare in association with British Gas, 19 projects competed in the final round's voting for funding for their work.
