2006 World Environment Day Awards

The United Nations Association of Australia 2006 World Environment Day Awards are open for nomination on February 1st, 2006. The Awards are an annual, national program open to all members of the Australian community. The awards aim to recognise businesses, local governments, individuals, community and school groups whose work serves to protect, manage or restore the environment. The Signode Education/School Award is open to teachers and students at primary and secondary school levels, who are involved in projects which help foster understanding about environmental issues at a grass roots level and make a constructive contribution through positive ideas and activities aimed at addressing these issues. The United Nations Association of Australia believes it is important to recognise this accomplishment in the educational arena and to encourage the further contribution of teachers and students in this field of endeavour.

The new web address is www.unaavictoria.org.au.
