Goal:
The celebration of a quantitative and qualitative ECO-Effect. Recipients must quantitatively positively affect both the ECOlogy and ECOnomy of their environment and “ECHO” their actions to other groups.
Background:
These awards will be given for quantitative and qualitative demonstration of the “ECO-Effect”. This is defined by showing a quantitative positive effect on the environment (could be a reduction of carbon footprint, less use of fossil fuels, reduction of garbage, etc.) plus a quantitative positive effect on the economy through a current or eventual economic savings.
Qualitatively, the recipient would demonstrate an “ECHO” by their actions, i.e; sharing their ECO-Action with others, i.e; home, school, community, etc.
What The ECO-Effect Awards Are Not!
We do not set standards; therefore ECO-Effect Awards will not be awarded based upon any milestones.
Procedure to Qualify:
Any entity can apply for an award, but must demonstrate their positive effects.
The ECO-Effect Advisory Board will analyze results and determine the recipients “ECHO” effect.
The following criteria will be judged:
1/3 – ECOlogical Impact
1/3 – ECOnomic Impact
1/3 – ECHO
