Gary Baldwin, Executive Director, Yves Landry Foundation is pleased to announced that the University of Waterloo Alternative Fuels Team will be presented with “Progress Towards Sustainable Development Award” at the Foundation’s 6th Annual STARS Technological Education Awards Gala in October.

The Award recognizes a college, university or post-secondary student group that most successfully incorporates the concept of sustainable development into its programs or projects. Sustainable development means understanding society’s demand for socially sensitive, economically viable and environmentally responsible products and manufacturing processes, and acting on that understanding. It is a case of taking action today with tomorrow in mind.
