Alfie Cooper Brass, a 10-year-old pupil at St Paul's Primary School in Primrose Hill won the Mini Warriors category with his Be A Planet Superstar campaign.

He created a website and Instagram page with ideas for planet-positive actions, featured on the Chris Evans Breakfast Radio Show and launched a crowdfunding appeal which led to planting more than 2000 trees.

Jeffrey Young, managing director of Camden Clean Air, which ran the awards, said it is "important to celebrate the people who are out there, making extraordinary changes happen, one word at a time, one act at a time, young people like you, who want to make a difference".

Georgina McGivern, the charity's programme director, said: "The Camden Eco Champion Awards were created to reward and celebrate those remarkable individuals in our Borough who go above and beyond to protect the environment.

"It was truly rewarding to know that the eco champions themselves were inspired by the other amazing people around them."

Cllr Adam Harrison, Camden Council's lead member for a sustainable Camden, who was a judge, said: "I found myself to be really inspired by the huge amount of work being done across the borough, not only by the winners but by all those who got nominated too.

"We will need to see a lot more of that in the future to face the climate challenge, so thank you to Camden Clean Air for organising such a fantastic event."
