Are you an Eco-Hero?
Do you know an Eco-Hero?
The 2010 International Young Eco-Hero Awards recognizes the accomplishments of young people (ages 8 -16) whose personal actions have significantly improved the environment.
Awards
Action For Nature will award cash prizes of up to $500 to young Eco-Heroes from around the world for their outstanding accomplishments in environmental advocacy, environmental health, research or protection of the natural world. Their individual initiatives will inspire others to preserve and protect our fragile environment.
Many of them are just like you - young, but willing to step up and act on behalf of the environment.
