Green Recognition Program

The purpose of the Green Recognition Program is to showcase the environmental efforts of area businesses, community organizations and individual citizens. The award recognizes that a healthy economy and a healthy environment are mutually supportive. Businesses and individuals who are doing things to lessen harmful environmental impacts should be recognized, which may inspire others to make changes that lessen the environmental impacts on their lifestyle and operations.

Winners would be encouraged to share their knowledge and efforts with the community and promote practices city-wide. A nomination will allow one to share their story, recognize hard work, highlight good environmental practices, receive well-deserved press coverage and promote industry firsts and significant accomplishments.
