There’s still time to register for the Young Environmentalist Awards 2010. The project submission deadline is Friday 26 February.

ECO-UNESCO, Ireland’s environmental education and youth organisation, is inviting all young people aged between 12 and 18 years old to carry out an environmental action project with their schools or youth groups and register now for ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards 2010.

Since 1999, the Young Environmentalist Awards has honoured and awarded the environmental actions of thousands of young people from all over Ireland. ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards are 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. ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards are 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.

“It’s a brilliant project that really makes you aware of the environment… a great way to get young people involved and interested in environmental issues,” explains Nuala O’Connor, St. Mary’s Secondary School Mallow.

Participants of the Young Environmentalist Awards have a chance to attend the annual National Showcase and Awards Ceremony event held each May. There participants will get a chance to showcase their work, meet TV celebrities and win fantastic prizes.

Young people can register their intent to carry out a project online on ECO-UNESCO’s website www.ecounesco.ie or by contacting ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards Coordinator, Dharsh Pillay, on +353 1 6625491 or at yea@ecounesco.ie. Closing date for receipt of completed projects is 26 February 2010.
