2009 Green Awards honorees at reception

Chicago magazine is accepting nominations for its 2010 Green Awards now through January 5! If you’ve been out and about and participating in the “eco scene” in the Chicago area, I’m sure you have more than a couple people you’d like to nominate. Editors are looking for groundbreakers in conservation and sustainability. Think about the people you know who are doing something really unique or especially forward-looking in the “green” realm.

I was honored to be included last year with five other amazing individuals. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the honorees to share the work they are doing and potentially reach new audiences that are key in helping them achieve success. I applaud Chicago magazine for developing this tradition and making it a priority to their publication. We need to recognize, celebrate and foster innovative leaders in sustainability in Chicago, and the magazine offers a great platform to do so.

Get going and nominate!
