The Ecostar Awards recognize outstanding environmental achievements and leadership on Vancouver Island. The awards are presented to island based businesses, non-profits, academia, governments and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in sustainability.
In light of global events we will be determining the best way to move forward with the 2021 Awards Gala in in the coming months. With economies reopening, now is the time to strengthen the network of green businesses and look for ways we can become more resilient through environmental practices, operational cost saving and innovation. If you are looking for ways to green your business check out the Vancouver Island Green Business Collective online.
We look forward to learning about your new sustainable initiatives later this year!
The Physical Awards
Inspired by Project Zero we decided last year to make the Ecostar Awards using 100% waste materials. We wanted to showcase what is possible when we shift towards a circular economy and begin to identify waste materials as a resource.
For a second year we will be partnering with ChopValue and Travtron 3D Printing to create our awards.
