There's been massive success for local young people at Ireland's ECO-UNESCO Awards 2017.
Over the past number of months thousands of young people across have been working tirelessly carrying out action projects and creating inspiring solutions to local and global environmental issues.
84 groups made it to the National finals - competing in 10 different categories that included biodiversity, water, energy, eco-enterprise, eco art and design, and climate change.
Bailieborough Community School took the top prize in their category, which saw them reconnect people with nature by re-establishing a rich bio-diversity in the community.
Clones Youth Group also won the Junior Eco-Development Award for their project - which was aimed at tackling dog fouling in the community.
And Carrickmacross Youthreach were announced as overall winners of the senior 'waste' category for their short documentary, investigating and highlighting the issue of littering and illegal dumping in their local area.
Josh Martin - a student in Carrickmacross Youthreach - explained more about their project.
