Sustainable living is the theme of a new set of grants helping kids swap PlayStation fingers for green thumbs, as energy distributor Jemena and Landcare Australia launch 35 Jemena Junior Landcare Grants worth $1,000 — to fire up young minds about the local environment and issues such as energy efficiency for the future.
The launch of the 2015 Live.Grow.Explore grants coincides with World Environmental Day and seeks schools, kindergartens, day-care centres and youth groups within Jemena’s areas of operations to nominate a project on the theme of living, growing and exploring sustainably. It should demonstrate strong environmental education outcomes and links to the school curriculum.
There are 35 grants available to schools, kindergartens, preschools, day care centres and youth/community groups (e.g. Scouts) located within Jemena’s areas of operations:
- New South Wales: state-wide
- Victoria: Jemena electricity network
- Queensland: Gladstone
Applications for the Jemena Junior Landcare Grants close on Friday 24 July 2015.
