In the fourth year of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eon.hu\/hu\/rolunk\/fenntarthatosag\/felelosseggel-a-tarsadalomert\/a-fold-bajnokai.html\">Champions of the Earth<\/a> competition, run by the energy company operating the power grid in Transdanubia, Pest County, and Budapest, a record 18 winning projects\u2014comprising 9 kindergarten, 6 primary school, and 3 secondary school applications\u2014received recognition and up to HUF 2.5 million in funding each. Together with them, 60 kindergarten and school &#8220;planet-saving communities&#8221; based on cooperation and active participation have received support over the course of four years. The 42 winning projects from the previous three years have already been implemented, and this year\u2019s awardees are now setting out to turn their plans into reality.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">The total value of grants awarded to date has exceeded HUF 100 million. The ideas brought to life jointly by children and teachers\u2014often with the involvement of parents and local municipalities\u2014are local, but their impact reaches much further in both time and space, both in terms of shaping mindsets and delivering positive environmental outcomes.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fenntarthatofejloves.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Guntram-Wurzberg-az-E.ON-elnok-vezerigazgatoja-es-a-Fold-bajnokai-zsuri-elnoke-a-dijatado-galan-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Guntram Wurzberg\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"first-token\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"><em><span class=\"\">&#8220;Our future depends on what we do for our environment today.<\/span> At E.ON, we follow this principle through our investments, developments, and efforts to shape mindsets. That is why we launched the Champions of the Earth competition: to show that every community can contribute to a more sustainable future. Over the past four years, numerous kindergartens and schools have proven that tangible results can emerge from environmental responsibility when we join forces and take action,&#8221; said Guntram W\u00fcrzberg, CEO of the E.ON Hung\u00e1ria Group.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">Shade forest, floating bog, mini-Tisza Alongside what can now be called classic bird, insect, or habitat protection programs, the jury was once again surprised by innovative ideas this year. It was striking how keenly several winning projects responded to what is currently happening in the world around the children. In the Shade-Saving Forest of the Kolozsv\u00e1r Street Kindergarten in Budapest, the children are preparing to create a Miyawaki mini-forest, establishing a micro-environment where the shade grows along with the kids. &#8220;Trees not only provide shade, but they are also among the most effective air conditioners. They are the only natural solution for cooling urban areas, and even kindergarteners know this by now,&#8221; emphasized physicist and climate researcher Di\u00e1na \u00dcrge-Vorsatz, Vice Chair of the IPCC and a member of the jury.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fenntarthatofejloves.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Urge-Vorsatz-Diana-a-Fold-bajnokai-zsuritagjanak-eloadasa-a-galan-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\u00dcrge-Vorsatz Di\u00e1na\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_674b23fbaafab1af\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<p class=\"first-token\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"><span class=\"\">As a continuation of their multi-year project,<\/span> high school students from Szigetszentmikl\u00f3s are helping revive the R\u00e1ckeve-Danube branch\u2014scarred by a 2020 oil spill\u2014using floating wetland islands,<span class=\"\"> water quality monitoring,<\/span> and drone surveillance.<span class=\"\"> In Z\u00e1hony,<\/span><span class=\"\"> the gravel bed of the Tisza River and the river itself are being brought into the school in miniature to undergo thorough study.<\/span> In Pen\u00e9szlek, indigenous knowledge from the Andes is being applied to local environmental challenges: an earth-sheltered &#8220;walipini&#8221; greenhouse cools in the summer and retains heat in the winter, where kindergarteners, alongside their parents and members of the local seniors&#8217; club, will grow edible garden crops.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">In Kulcs,<span class=\"\"> a new nature study trail for kindergarteners sets out right beside the country&#8217;s first utility-scale wind turbine,<\/span><span class=\"\"> while in V\u00e1c,<\/span><span class=\"\"> a &#8220;Green Elf&#8221; conjures an oasis amid prefabricated concrete housing blocks.<\/span><span class=\"\"> At the &#8220;Farmer-School&#8221; (Denim-School) in T\u00f3tkoml\u00f3s,<\/span><span class=\"\"> outgrown jeans are repurposed into bags and pencil cases adorned with Slovak folk motifs in the spirit of the circular economy,<\/span><span class=\"\"> and students at T\u00f3parti High School in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r are planning a waste reduction program based on analyzing the contents of cafeteria trash cans.<\/span> Gardens also foster inclusion and development: the sensory garden at Sz\u0151l\u0151szem Kindergarten in Budapest is tailored to the needs of children with autism, while at the School for the Blind, raised planter beds labeled in Braille allow plants to respond to students through touch, scent, and taste.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">&#8220;Many believe the ship has sailed and climate change is unstoppable. Ensuring that isn&#8217;t the case is our responsibility, too: we must build narratives centered on active engagement rather than despair,&#8221; stated journalist and climate communication expert R\u00e9ka Nagy, a member of the Champions of the Earth jury.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">&#8220;I used to feel paralyzed by eco-anxiety. For me, joining the 10 Million Trees movement was the way out of that frozen state. Since then, I&#8217;ve realized there is no more effective remedy for anxiety than action itself,&#8221; emphasizes actress and environmental activist Lia Pokorny, who has served on the Champions of the Earth jury since its inception. Katalin Szomol\u00e1nyi, Managing Director of Planet Fanatics\u2019 Network and fellow founding jury member, shares a similar view: &#8220;At the corporate level, I consider it crucial to give momentum to sustainability through our own actions. Even more valuable, however, is learning from an early age just how much each of us can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Long-Term Solutions Champions of the Earth is not merely funding for a one-off project; as earlier initiatives demonstrate, it represents a mindset passed down across generations. Thanks to the efforts of the 2025 winners, Hungary&#8217;s first school sponge garden was created in V\u00e1c, a kindergarten chicken coop was set up in Decs, a bat monitoring station operates in Visegr\u00e1d, an 800-tree climate forest and butterfly garden took root in Kunpesz\u00e9r, and Budapest School built a permaculture green oasis over urban asphalt.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Experiencing the impact of taking part in solving environmental issues at an early age turns the crisis from a daunting threat into a challenge and a chance for collaborative action. For most participating institutions, green thinking integrates into everyday life and the curriculum,<span class=\"\"> with projects handed down from class to class.<\/span><span class=\"\"> For instance,<\/span><span class=\"\"> the sustainable techniques\u2014ecoprinting,<\/span> hand spinning and dyeing, and rug tufting\u2014developed in the Jelky Andr\u00e1s Vocational High School of Arts&#8217; &#8220;Slow Down&#8221; project (a 2024 winner) are now integrated into the school curriculum, and the student enterprise built upon them has since won a national award.
