Frederik at sustainability awards

Today Crown Prince Frederik has attended the Royal Awards for Sustainability at Trekanten, Kalvebod Brygge, in Copenhagen. Frederik is the patron of the Royal Awards and has helped mark the final event of The Art of Recycling which involves children to think about and solve environmental problems through programs in their schools. The Art of Recycling is an annual event which focuses on limiting waste production in households. In 2001 there was a name change from The Princes' Award Foundation to The Royal Awards Foundation. It was originally named for its two patrons, Crown Prince Felipe of Spain and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. The organisation now represents a wide range of members from six countries representing many organisations - including members from corporations, local authorities, universities, NGOs, trade associations and unions.
