The finalists in each environmental categories for the 2018 Eco-Logic Awards were selected recently with some major names making an appearance.
The awards, which are hosted by the Enviropaedia, are set to take place on World Environment Day in Tshwane, to honour those individuals, organisations products and services that positively contribute towards an environmentally sustainable world for us to live in. The judging panel, which consisted of 14 highly experienced and knowledgeable judges from senior positions in the private and public sectors, had a big task on their hands, examining all the high-quality entries. “It was tough deciding on the ultimate winners from all the entries, but I believe each single entry is worthy. Every effort made to save our planet is welcomed, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to some, because as a collective we have so much more power to make a positive difference, “says Smile 90.4FM presenter, Maurice Carpede, who was on the judging panel.The 2018 Eco-Logic Awards finalists include:
