The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is honoring individuals and organizations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands by bestowing upon them Environmental Quality Awards for their achievements in protecting public health and the environment.
Ford Puerto Rico announced Monday the 12th edition of its “Conservation and Environment Grants Program” to help individuals and nonprofit organizations on the island in projects that promote environmental welfare.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded nearly $50,000 to two Puerto Rico organizations, Leaders of the World and the Scuba Dogs Society, to educate low-income communities about effective waste management, recycling and the negative effects of improper waste disposal on people’s health and water quality.
