Richmond-based Herbaland is providing scholarships to students promoting sustainable living practices this year.
The local business is accepting applications in the form of a video challenge, titled the Sustainability LIfestyle Challenge, for high school and university students in Canada who demonstrate habits and behaviours that promote sustainability, reduce waste and conserve natural resources.
Herbaland will be providing a total of $6,000 to three winning students -- $3,000 for first place, $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third place.
Students are being challenged to create a video of themselves on how they live an environment-conscious lifestyle, why it's important and what social or environmental impact they are creating.
Participants must currently be high school, undergraduate or graduate students or have graduated from an undergraduate degree-granting institution within the last two years.
"We want to celebrate the sustainable efforts you’ve made as an individual. The goal of this contest is to award and recognize those who have the persistence and diligence of living a sustainable lifestyle," said Joshua Hueller, marketing coordinator with Herbaland, in an email to the Richmond News.
The submission deadline is June 30 with winners announced on July 25.
