Greenrock has been shocked at Govt's inertia regarding implementation of their own 2011 Energy White Paper recommendations, and in March offered Government tips including how to reduce their $20M annual spend on electricity.
The SAGE awards were offered for great ideas that will lead to:
- Streamlining of Government
- Greater efficiency
- Enhancing accountability
- Better service to the public through privatisation
Today's announcement, which features on the SAGE Commission website reads;
We are pleased to announce the winners of the SAGE Commission’s Awards Programme The participation in the Awards Programme has been heartening: well more than 400 submissions were received through the web site, in person and through private meetings. The submissions represented a broad cross-section from the Civil and Public Service and from the public. The SAGE Commission has been given a remarkable insight into how members of our community are looking at the challenge of reducing the cost of running the Bermuda Government. Here are the winners: Best Entry from a Member of the Public – Jennifer Ebbin Best Entry from an Employee of Government – Andrea Franklin Best Entry from a Young Person 18-25 Years – Connor Burns Best Entry from a Youth Under 18 – Ryan Robinson Perinchief Best Overall Entry – Magnus Henagulph The SAGE Commission extends its deep appreciation to everyone who participated in the Awards Programme. Sincerely, Brian Duperreault |
Greenrock says... Government need to lead by example and change their 'do as we say but not as we do' approach to the environment and sustainability. The big question remains - Will Government take SAGE advice?
