Apply for the President’s Environmental Youth Award by December 31, 2012.
The President’s Environmental Youth Award Program honors environmental projects from students in grades K-12 who have worked to promote environmental awareness. This could mean anything from using cleaner, renewable energy sources to collecting rainwater for plants in your neighborhood. Previous winners created a Radon Awareness Project, in which they learned that kids, no matter how young, can positively impact environment. Visit http://www.epa.gov/peya/ and apply!
