Young Environmentalist Awards 2010

Congratulations to all the winners at ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards!

Take a look at some of the photos from ECO-UNESCO’s Young Environmentalist Awards Showcase and Ceremony. More photos are on the ECO-UNESCO blog: ecounesco.wordpress.com.

The Young Environmentalist Awards 2010 was an amazing demonstration of the power of young people to make significant changes in their community to help the environment.
Many thanks to all the staff, volunteers and special guests that made the day a huge success - especially the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Cllr Emer Costello for opening the showcase, Ciaran Cuffe, TD, Minister of State with special responsibility for Sustainable Transport, Horticulture, Planning and Heritage for addressing the ceremony and awarding the overall winners and Aidan Power for once again being a terrific host for our ceremony.
