They competed against more than 500 other nominations in the Green World Awards for Environmental Best Practice and were presented with their trophy and certificate at a glittering presentation in The Fantastic Cube, Bucheon City Hall, South Korea on October 28, 2016. Narayana Prabhu and Kamaleksana Mataji from Sri Sri Radha ShyamSundar Mandir, Seoul, South Korea, received this award on behalf of ISKCON GEV.
As a result of this Green World Award success, ISKCON GEV has been invited to have their winning paper published in The Green Book, the leading international work of reference on environmental best practice, so that others around the world can follow their example and learn from their achievement.
The Green World Awards have been launched as the top tier of the Green Apple Awards – enabling companies and organizations to win environmental recognition not only for themselves, but also for their countries. As a result of winning the Green Apple Award 2015 and becoming a Green World Ambassador, ISKCON Govardhan Eco Village’s winning paper was automatically submitted into the Green World Awards 2016.
The awards are organized by The Green Organization, an international, independent, non-political, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognizing, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world. They are supported by the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution for Wastes Management and other independent bodies.
