Presidents Environmental Youth Award
|
The President of the United States has joined with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to recognize young Americans for protecting our nation's air, water, land, and ecology. Young people from around the country are invited annually to participate in the awards program which encourages individuals, school classes, summer camps, public interest groups, and youth organizations to promote environmental awareness and positive community involvement. The PEYA program honors a variety of environmental programs that promote environmental awareness. Past projects have included building nature trails, reversing the decline of endangered species, starting recycling programs, restoring native habitats, creating schoolyard habitats, and many other creative, sustainable efforts. The PEYA competition has two parts: a regional certificate and a regional award. The regional certificate program is conducted year-round whereas the regional award program is conducted once a year. |
