Celebrating Merseyside’s Green Heroes at the ECHO Environment Awards. Safeguarding the environment and protecting our planet is one of the biggest challenges of our time. 

And while the problem may be global, small changes at a local level can make a big difference. Here at the Echo we believe we have a huge role to play in championing the cause and highlighting the amazing work being done across Merseyside. 

As the Liverpool City Region’s number one news provider in print and online, we have an ever-growing audience which makes us perfectly placed to honour the very many people doing wonderful things.

• We recognise the businesses, schools and community groups leading the way in improving the environment
• We thank those who are making a difference – our nominees and winners
• We feature our green heroes in our award-winning newspaper and on our award-winning website
• And we celebrate their achievements at our amazing awards night

Our virtual ECHO Environment Awards take place this year on Wednesday, April 28 with the ceremony getting underway at 6.30pm. 

Why not join us to applaud the men, women and children determined to make our streets, neighbourhoods, schools, colleges and workspaces better places – the people striving to improve our environment and, ultimately, playing a huge part in making the world a better place for future generations.
