      HOW THIS AWARD WINNING PROGRAM BEGAN...

When Santa Monica, California residents Mimi and Jon Torp wanted to find a way to reward their daughter, Emily, for her tireless and single minded passion for recycling and conserving resources, they couldn’t come up with anything that properly praised her accomplishments.  

Talking to other parents, they quickly realized that there was an obvious dearth of environmental based awards for our young Eco-Warriors.   

Thus was the genesis of “Environ Medals”.       

Designed by Jon, the Torps hired a Wisconsin medal maker to create an engraved “Planet Earth Environ-Medal” with the slogan “Champion of a Greener World”.

They also developed a checklist of eco-friendly tasks that an Earthling could perform to help our planet.
 



Some of the Tasks Kids can perform to
Earn an Environ Medal


Bring a Trashless Lunch to school.  Use a lunch box instead of a paper bag.   Carry food in reusable containers and drinks in reusable bottles

When a person has performed a specific number of tasks, they’re rewarded with an Environ Medal.

The Torp's inaugural roll-out of this program at their Daughter's school, Santa Monica's Franklin Elementary, was met with overwhelming interest  and success. 

Since then, the Torp's have expanded this kid powered earth saving program to other school's and organizations.
