Golfing business folk in York and North Yorkshire are being challenged to compete against other cities and regions in a virtual golf match.

The match is on an online course devised by Envirowise, the Government organisation that helps businesses deal with problems of waste.

The Putt It Away challenge will see our entrepreneurs competing with other areas over the environmental impact of their businesses.

The game, at www.puttitaway.co.uk, invites players to try their luck on either a driving range or 11-hole golf course, and flags up practical advice on resource efficiency along the way. Tips include how to reduce paper or water waste.
