Students from Loreto Secondary School in Bray were presented with their Young Environmentalist Awards and are calling on people across Ireland to follow in their footsteps. Young Environmentalist Award Winners are calling on future environmentalists from across Ireland to take action and apply to the 2022 Young Environmentalists Awards programme (YEAs). The winners from Loreto are encouraging young people to create action projects in their school, community or at home. Katrina Smyth, Erica Brierton and Aoife Blount were recognised for setting up a “seed library” in their school community with the aim of promoting biodiversity. ECO-UNESCO visited the YEA 2021 winners from Loreto Secondary School in Bray to present their awards and launch the next year’s programme.
