The non-governmental organization ECOCITY gave in the evening of Saturday, June 2nd and for the 14th consecutive year, the ECOPOLIS Environmental Sensitivity Awards. The Award Ceremony for 2018 was held with great success at the Greek island of Milos, something that has its own symbolism as the island is known for its geothermal activity and resources.
In total, 27 awards were given this year to people that have contributed significantly to the promotion of environmental sensitivity through their disciplines.
All the awards were accompanied by the statuette created by the young geologist & artist from Milos Sophia Trapatselis from stone lava and copper in a symbolic composition that represents the protected flora and the unique geophysical identity of Milos.
