About Us

ANNUAL ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AWARDS

Our awards go to an individual for his/her outstanding contribution to making an environmental difference and to a group who has done much to foster environmental awareness/activism. In 2005, a business award was added to recognize those whose actions positively impact the health of our planet and local communities.
