The ninth annual Eco-Logic Awards will take place 5 June 2020 on World Environment Day. Hosted by The Enviropaedia, entries are now open for individuals, organisations and communities that are making a difference through environmentally sustainable initiatives.
The awards will put the spotlight on positive action taken against the impact of our environmental crisis and highlight the efforts of SAâs eco-champions.
âOur news can be filled with a lot of negativity about the state of our planet, but there are some exceptional efforts being made to combat urgent issues, and these awards aim to recognise these efforts and encourage others to get onboard,â says David Parry-Davies, director of The Enviropaedia and the Eco-Logic Awards.
