EPA seeks applications for awards


DALLAS – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications for the President’s Environmental Youth Award (PEYA) and The Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators Award (PIAEE). The applications should highlight environmental stewardship in a variety of areas, including environmental sustainability; healthy school environment projects; environmentally friendly agriculture practices; reducing human contributions to ocean litter; recycling or using STEM to teach environmental education. EPA will select up to two winners in each of EPA’s 10 Regions – one regional winner for grades K-5 and one for grades 6-12. PIAEE recognizes exceptional K-12 teachers employing innovative and interactive approaches to environmental education. Winners will be invited to a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in mid-2019, and have their project mentioned on EPA’s website. Applications are due March 8, 2019. (Source: EPA 02/01/19)
