The campaign, run by Visit Cardiff and Cardiff
Harbour Authority used the team's established
events and networks as platforms for engagement with leisure and tourism
businesses as well as visitors, helping inspire them to make positive
environmental changes.
Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Cllr
Peter Bradbury, said: "The team at Cardiff Harbour Authority remove around
500 tonnes of rubbish, much of it plastic, from Cardiff Bay each year, so
reducing plastic waste is an issue we're as passionate about as the general
public.
"This award is great recognition for the
work we've been doing to share our experiences with the sector and help make
tourism and events in Cardiff more sustainable."
One of the highlights of the
campaign was an Eco Lounge - created for the Volvo Ocean Race site to
demonstrate the scope and volume of rubbish and plastic collected in Cardiff
Bay, it consisted of upcycled furniture made with debris and rubbish collected
by the Harbour Authority Boat Crew in Cardiff Bay - all made by a local
carpenter.
