On 1 Aug the Hong Kong Earth Champion Quest was launched. You may have seen the articles in the SCMP on Thu 31 Jul, Sat 2 Aug and Sun 3 Aug.
Who do you know that is taking action to help improve our environment?
Let Hong Kong hear about them.
The nomination forms are available from www.earthchampions.org (http://www.earthchampions.org) or below as an attachment.
The purpose of the Quest is to assist communities and later nations to rapidly discover their own ecological knowledge by identifying people and organisations who are exceptional in the areas of water, energy, transport, biodiversity, air, waste reduction and the built environment.
Everyday people often have the answers, but not the voice to let it be known that there are hundreds of excellent solutions in their region. They are often modest unsung heroes that local people know and are happy to nominate.
The people who know how to save rivers, produce carbon neutral energy and grow safe food are the Earth Champions of the future and their own communities choose them, therefore there is buy in and participation from the community where we there is "The call to Action." This impacts their neighbourhood, their business and government and indeed this is one of their own Earth Champions team, who might one day be standing on an international podium being applauded by the world.
I am part of the volunteer team running this programme. I look forward to reading your nominations.
Grow well
Merrin
