Criteria
for
the
Brower
Youth
Awards
Outstanding
Youth
Leadership
and
Project
Impact
The
Brower
Youth
Awards
recognize
people
ages
13
to
22
living
in
North
America
who
have
shown
outstanding
leadership
on
a
project
with
positive
environmental
and
social
impact.
“Outstanding
leadership”
means
that
you
played
the
major
leadership
role
in
creating,
organizing
and
implementing
your
project.
We
are
looking
for
the
person
with
the
vision,
motivation,
and
leadership
skills
that
made
the
project
work.
“Project
impact”
includes
how
the
project
benefited
the
environment
and
community
in
terms
of
measurable
results
(e.g.
acres
of
wildlife
habitat
protected
or
restored,
number
of
people
engaged
in
social
issues
because
of
the
project,
numbers
of
children
no
longer
exposed
to
toxins,
etc.).
The
project
should
fall
under
one
or
more
of
the
following
categories:
::
Conservation
CONSERVATION
is
work
to
eliminate
or
decrease
our
use
of
natural
resources
and
our
negative
impacts
on
ecosystems
and
communities.
For
example:
*
A
project
that
plays
a
substantial
role
in
organizing
a
local
community
to
pass
a
public
transportation
initiative
*
A
project
that
significantly
reduces
energy
use
on
a
school
campus
by
requiring
passive
solar
design
and
the
use
of
efficient
appliances
in
all
school
facilities.
"Conserve
the
golden
eggs
carefully.
Preserve
the
goose
or
there
will
be
no
more
golden
eggs.
If
you've
already
damaged
the
goose,
get
going
on
Restoration."
~
David
R.
Brower
::
Preservation
PRESERVATION
is
work
to
protect
ecosystems,
species,
indigenous
cultures
and
other
irreplaceable
elements
of
the
world's
natural
heritage.
For
example:
*
A
project
that
secures
protected
nesting
area
for
an
endangered
songbird
*
A
project
that
plays
a
substantial
role
in
blocking
development
of
Native
sacred
sites
via
ongoing
peaceful
civil
disobedience
(demonstrations,
street
theater,
marches)
::
Restoration
RESTORATION
is
work
to
re-establish
the
healthy
functioning
of
ecosystems;
parts
of
ecosystems;
and
human
communities
that
manage
ecosystems.
For
example:
*
A
project
that
reclaims
an
abandoned
urban
lot,
creates
an
organic
garden.
*
A
project
that
rallies
a
community
to
fight
for
prison
reform.
