Bronze Award
This is the basic award, simply requiring a club to appoint an Environment and Sustainability Chair or contact person and document its current and planned initiatives.
Steps
- Appoint a Club ES Chair or nominate a contact person (Suggest that this person joins ESRAG https://www.esrag.org/)
- If feasible form a small committee or working group of 2 or 3+ members with the aim to meet either formally or informally several times a year to review the environmental initiatives of the club and to consider future possible projects
- Have these initiatives recognised by the club Board and shared with the rest of the club members
- Once this has been achieved, submit an application for the Award to the District Environment and Sustainability Chair
