Young Environmentalist Awards 2008

Calling all 12-18 year olds - your environment needs you!

It’s time for young people to start brainstorming project ideas to improve their local environment and register for ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards 2008.

ECO-UNESCO's Young Environmentalist Awards (YEA) is an all Ireland environmental awards programme for young people. The Awards honour the work of young people between the ages of 12 and 18 who protect, conserve and enhance our environment through local environmental projects, making a difference to their lives and the lives of others locally and globally.

The YEA is a fun and exciting way to empower young people to become better citizens, to build awareness of environmental issues in their locality and promote simple actions and lifestyle changes to improve the environment for all.
