The ECO-Sustainability Award aims to encourage youth and community organisations to become more sustainable by providing organisations with training, on-going support and a practical toolkit.
You are undertaking actions to lead the way towards a more socially and environmentally just future for all and you are interested in celebrating and rewarding the work of your Youth and Community organisation?
These awards are for you!
Sustainability is not just about “being Green” it is also about social equity, inclusion and justice – in all dimensions of our lives.
Being sustainable includes looking both at our responsibilities to those closest to us and our global responsibilities.
A sustainable organisation takes these responsibilities seriously!
The ECO Sustainability Award is about developing and promoting the skills, attitudes and behaviour that both adults and young people need to create more sustainable organisations.
RehabCare Bray, in their second year participating in the ECO-Sustainability Award, created a vegetable garden as one of their actions in successfully achieving the silver award.
