2009 Environmental Advocate Award Winners

Caio Adams
As part of his 4th grade service project, Caio chose to educate teachers and students about the many benefits of recycling and work to increase the amount of recycling at Curtis Fundamental Elementary School. Caio involved Curtis' multi-cultural group, utilized community resources, and as a result, all classrooms at Curtis are now collecting mixed paper for recycling. Caio also participates in numerous City sponsored events and volunteer activities including litter cleanups.

Royal Stewart Arms
Royal Stewart Arms (RSA), with assistance from Pinellas County Extension and a beautification grant from the City, has installed rain gauges, drip irrigation, and drought and wind tolerant plants. Because of their efforts, the complex's water use has decreased by 12 million gallons and has saved almost $50,000 over a two year period. RSA has been featured in several local publications and serves as an example of how residential complexes can save money by conserving resources.
