The 8th annual Eco-Logic Awards event, presented by The Enviropaedia, South Africa’s online environmental encyclopaedia, is set to take place on 5 June 2019, which is World Environment Day. The competition allows anyone to nominate a South African community or government institution; a business project, service or product; organisation or individual who is contributing to our urgent quest for a more sustainable world.Lifting the local mood
Director of The Enviropaedia and the Eco-Logic Awards, David Parry-Davies notes that the despite the gloomy start to the year the Eco-Logic awards can lift the mood by focusing on the good work of South Africa’s eco-champions. “If we take a look at how the year has started, there’s no doubt that our situation is dire. However, the 2019 Eco-Logic Awards can lift us out of a pessimistic and helpless attitude about our future by identifying the people, products and organisations that give us hope because they provide real solutions for Climate Change and other environmental challenges that we face.”The 2019 Eco-Logic Awards will encourage greater awareness of action taken against the impacts of urgent issues, and in doing so; generate exposure for these eco-efforts. Parry-Davies points out that past winners, have reported benefits such as increased public awareness and credibility.
