Toyota Ireland will fund some of Ireland's up and coming young environmentalists through the awarding of €10,000 in seeds grants to ECO-UNESCO's clubs across the country.
ECO-UNESCO is Ireland's environmental education and youth organisation and its clubs provide an outlet for young people to come together and help the environment and their local communities in a fun and meaningful way.
Toyota will award grants to ten chosen ECO-UNESCO clubs taking part in its 'Clubs in Action' programme. The grants which range from €250 for a Bronze Seed Grant up to €1,000 for a Gold Seed Grant, will be used to implement environmental activities including energy saving, recycling, eco-transport, local clean-ups, tree planting and other such activities.
Staff from Toyota dealerships across the country will be involved, many of whom are being trained as ECO-Leaders by ECO-UNESCO.
Clubs wishing to apply for a grant can do so by registering online at www.ecounesco.ie
