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.
