Remember the BT Online Excellence Award we were up for at the end of last year? Well, amidst all the work on energy solutions, forest protection and marine reserves there's time for a quick celebration as news just came though that we won Best Environmental Website! But wait, there's more because we were in the overall top ten across all categories, alongside bbc.co.uk, Amazon and Google.

It may not be a Nobel Prize (or even a Webby), but we're extremely chuffed to have been nominated for the Best Environmental Website in the BT Online Excellence Awards. Nominations from the public for their favourite sites were whittled down to a shortlist by a panel of expert judges, and that shortlist is open to the public once more for final voting.

So thank you to whoever nominated us in the first place, but now we're shamelessly asking for your votes to help us win. We have some distinguished competition so we'll need all the votes we can get. If you need further enticement, BT are offering a champagne-laden balloon flight for one lucky voter.

If you like what you see here, don't hold back - vote now.
