Each year, MP for Waite, Catherine Hutchesson, awards year 6 students, who’ve displayed outstanding care and consideration for the environment, the Environmental Warrior Award.
The first year of making the medallions, we used old decking wood, milk bottle lids, fan blades and scrap fabric.
Back in 2023, Catherine wanted to her award to be made locally from sustainable materials. When she heard about this project she reached out and we started collaborating. Using plastic collected from the local community sorting parties, I collaborated with CNC Operator Julian James of Melrose Park, who designs and cuts all the components. This is the second year we've delivered the medallions, each year they're 100% made from recycled or second hand materials - even the lanyards were from unwanted BeActive/Reading Challenge medals.
“The recipients of these awards are leaders for their generation and will face many challenges to protect and restore the environment. I hope these medallions will remind and inspire them about what can be achieved when good people with the passion for sustainability, work to protect the environment.”
