Spain: prizes for environmental actions

The Caja de Madrid has launched a call to give prizes for positive environmental actions carried out by individuals or non-profit making organisations in Spain. The aim of this call, whose budget is 24,000 euros, is to disseminate examples of environment-friendly activities which can be assumed by the society and can become models to be broadly transferred. This call intends that not only non-profit making public and private organisations are involved, but also individuals. The projects will have to promote the conservation of biodiversity and of sustainable development. The call will particularly praise initiatives related to waste management, pollution, renewable energies and water management. www.obrasocialcajamadrid.es.
