Ashden Awards, Wednesday 30 May 2012

Whether you were lucky enough to be there, watched the webcast or followed us on twitter, here are some of the highlights of the Ashden Awards 2012.

  1. The morning: A visit to Clarence House for our finalists

    UK, international and sustainable travel finalists meet Ashden Patron His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales at Clarence House. It's nice to see this twitter plug from Keith Jones of the National Trust Wales for fellow finalist Mike Roberts of iDE/Hydrologic. Mike's team are selling affordable water filters to Cambodia's poor, so protecting their health and Cambodia's precious forests.
