Rotarians Gabrielle Back, Mukesh Malhotra and Rodney Huggins attended a prestigious presentation at the House of Commons to receive an International Green Apple Award from the Green Organisation.

The trophy was awarded in recognition of Gabrielle’s work promoting environmental sustainability, encouraging carbon reduction and community environmental work. After receiving the trophy from Liz Kendall MP, Minister for Trade, the Rotarians made a donation to the Green Earth Appeal whose tree planting in emerging nations not only helps the environment and wildlife, but also increases job opportunities for the local population.

Rotary International in Great Britain & Ireland (RIBI) President, Nan McCreadie said: "This is fantastic news and a great achievement for the RIBI Environmental Sustainability Group and our Community Service Committee."

The Green Organisation Awards began in 1994 and have become established as the country’s major recognition of environmental endeavour among individuals, companies, councils, communities and countries.
