Do you know of, or are you a part of, a great local initiative which helps the environment? No doubt it could do with a helping hand…
Local heroes could be eligible to win a bursary worth £20,000 towards projects that promote sustainable living, as the 2nd year of the ‘Future Friendly Awards’ launches across the country this month.
The Future Friendly Awards is a nationwide search for people who are making a difference to their local community by championing sustainability and inspiring others to do the same.
Following the success of the Awards last year, this year five finalists will win the chance to have a film made showcasing their work, and one overall winner will win a bursary worth £20,000 to continue their project.
The award is looking for nominees – local champions, communities and ‘eco-preneurs’ – who have taken steps to lead their community in changing behaviour. Anyone over 14 years of age can enter the awards and entries close midnight on January 23rd 2009.
