Do you know an amazing school eco-councillor who is helping their class with green initiatives? Or maybe a faith group going above and beyond to help rewild the local area. Maybe someone in your street is helping biodiversity or arranging regular community litter picks?
Local company Ember Designs have launched their Eco Awards for the second year, open to everyone in the St Albans district.
Ember owner Lee Wood explained: “We are fortunate to have people who give their time, expertise, knowledge and passion to benefit our community by working tirelessly to improve the environment . Now it’s time to celebrate their achievements.
“We want to make sure that all champions have the opportunity to be recognised and with this in mind, we’ve made a slight change to the format this year by introducing specific categories. This award is open to everyone in the St Albans district, although you can only make one nomination per category, so get those thinking caps on.”
The categories are simple: under 18s, over 18s and community group.
To submit a nomination, simply send your full name along with that of your chosen recipient(s) and a brief synopsis of why you believe they deserve to be recognised to info@emberdesigns.co.uk
Deadline for all nominations will be 6pm on Friday 9th June 9. An announcement will then be made a week later to coincide with the conclusion of the Sustainability Festival – see www.sustainablestalbans.org/sustfest
Lee added: “Ember Designs are delighted to have once again collaborated with the talented team at Heartwood Glass to produce the stunning trophies for the winners.
“The design is based around the eco climate stripes and subsequent roots which extend from that to represent the passionate people and groups which bring our entire community together in the battle against climate change.
“I’m so excited to be able to read the nominations, recognise and share the fantastic work of our community.”
