OVERVIEW
8TH EARTH CARE AWARDS 2018

It’s important to give back to the Earth, just as much as we take from it. That’s why, the Earth Care Awards (ECAs). An initiative that rewards people, community groups and corporations for their efforts to mitigate climate change.

The ECAs, in their 8th edition this year, have gained widespread recognition and respect in the industry and the community. Out of the nearly 250 applicants who sent in their entries, nine were awarded in an event held on 18th April 2018.

“What interests me most is the exponential growth in the number of applications; it actually shows the enthusiasm around these awards and the prestige that they hold. We are not just limited to being national, but now we have applications from South Asia. The kind of areas that people are touching and how they are concentrating on not just the cause but consequences is commendable.”
