Volvo Adventure Award 2007
Volvo Adventure, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), is an educational initiative organized by Volvo Car Corporation and Volvo Group that rewards environmental activities and projects undertaken by young people to improve their local environment. Out of 365 projects across 47 different countries worldwide, two 15-year-old students from Surabaya in Indonesia took home this year's top prize with their project "Useful Waste for a Better Future." Two years ago, Indonesia was given the title of the dirtiest country in the world by the World Health Organization. Helping to confront this problem, the students' project not only removes rubbish, but also recycles it into sustainable souvenirs and gifts, thus contributing to both the environment and local economy.
