EcoFriend Award
Introduction
There are many environmentally proactive people in Singapore who have made contributions to the environment, each in their own ways. Coming from all sectors of the community- school teachers, students, youth and volunteers in non-government, private, people as well as public sector organizations 'these individuals have sacrificed their personal time and effort to protect, promote and enhance our Clean & Green environment.
Through the collective efforts of these proactive individuals in taking ownership over the environment, everyone gets to benefit from the outcome of a clean and green environment. As such, the National Environment Agency has initiated the EcoFriend Award to recognise their efforts and achievements, as well as encourage them to continue and expand their efforts in caring for the environment. We look forward to welcoming more individuals on board the EcoFriend family.
