Says David Parry-Davis, editor of The Enviropaedia and co-host of the Eco-Logic Awards, “The entries we received this year were of a very high calibre. We also opened new categories, including the Municipality category and have been delighted by the response. There was no entry fee required which leveled the playing field for both large and small organisations to enter the competition. As a result we’re very pleased to see such a wide diversity of interesting and exciting entries streaming in this year”.

About The Enviropaedia:
Established in 2000, The Enviropaedia was one of South Africa’s very first ‘green’ publications and directories that is dedicated to educating and motivating individuals and businesses to live and work in a more socially and environmentally, sustainable manner. This is achieved through four focal areas: Networking, Knowledge building, Creating Bridges of Co-operation and the ‘Ethical Consumer Campaign’.
The Enviropaedia motivates and empowers individuals and businesses to make conscious use of their consumer spending power and to become ‘ethical consumers’ by buying goods and services from organisations that are committed to a path of increasing their social responsibility and reducing their environmental impact.
The Enviropaedia book is supported by an online version www.enviropaedia.com and a lifestyle guide www.eco-logicalliving.com.
The Enviropaedia Eco-Logic Awards:
The Eco-Logic Awards was first launched in 2011 to extend the influence of The Enviropaedia publication, websites and the ‘ethical consumer’ campaign. The awards identify and give recognition to those individuals, organisations, products and services that are making a real and measurable difference in creating a more sustainable world to live in.
