Silver Award
To qualify for a Silver Award, a club will need to demonstrate that it is continuing with and improving an existing initiative and has launched at least one new one.
Steps
- The Club ES Committee or working group meets either formally or informally several times a year and, where possible, includes other Club members in discussions of potential environmental projects.
- Launch ONE new major initiative OR continue an existing major one and explore ways to increase its effectiveness.
- The environmental projects that form the basis of the application should be documented with photographs and other details of these projects. This information may be used by the Environment Committee to showcase your project to the wider Rotary community.
Examples of initiatives
- Collect unwanted clothes, toys or household goods to donate to a Rotary opportunity shop
- Conduct your initiatives to coincide with special days, such as National Tree Day, World Bee Day, or World Environment Day (5 June each year) https://www.esrag.org/esrag-unep-handbook
- Conduct community/club seminars on contemporary environmental issues, such as recycling or the use of plastics
- Organise or participate in a community environmental festival (perhaps as a cluster project)
