"The principles of Eco-Logic and the eco-logic awards event are designed to introduce a new approach to addressing our current environmental challenges . The old ways have not been working well enough - so it is time to address these challenges differently. We have created the world as it is today and we can therefore create a better world tomorrow. But it is up to each one of us to play our part. I am deeply grateful to each of these winners , for being the leaders and showing us the way forward to creating this better more eco-logical world," said David Parry-Davis, publishing editor of The Enviropaedia.
