This Environment Day, go creative and unleash the eco-friendly you. Like a cherry on the cake, win a prize too! Read on...
If you are in school and are creative, a shopping bag could win
you a prize. The Australian Consulate-General in Chennai and TREE Foundation are
joining hands for World Environment Day this year, to provide schoolchildren
with an opportunity to compete in an eco-bag designing competition.
The challenge is to create a useable shopping bag out of recycled
material like old clothing or bed sheets.
David Holly, Australia’s consul-general to south India said the
competition would provide schoolchildren in and around Chennai the chance to be
part of a global effort to help promote a more environmentally sustainable
future.
A press release said that awards for the best bag would be given
in two age categories: junior (12 years and below) and senior (13-18 years). The
first prize would be worth Rs. 10,000; the second prize Rs. 5,000 and the third
prize Rs. 3,000. All participants will receive certificates.
Participants can enter either as individuals or in teams of up to
three members, and have until 5 p.m. on July 5 to submit their entries.
Bags and entry applications must be couriered to or dropped off
at: TREE Foundation, # 5/25, Blue Beach Road, Neelankarai, Chennai - 600
115.
