Posted 12 November 2008
Iowa businesses, organizations and
citizens are invited to apply for the Governor's Iowa Environmental
Excellence Awards. To download an application, go to www.iowadnr.gov/other/ee/index.html
; applications are due Jan. 31, 2009.
These awards are the premier environmental honors in Iowa, recognizing
leadership and innovation in the protection of Iowa's water, land and
air.
"As Governor, I am committed to protecting the land, lakes, rivers and
streams that we all love," said Governor Culver. "To do so will require
the hard work of all Iowans, including Iowa's business community. I am
proud to recognize those businesses who share in our common commitment
to the environment, and I encourage all those who are joining in our
efforts to keep Iowa beautiful to apply for the Governor's
Environmental Excellence award."
Awards will be given for overall Environmental Excellence, along with
Special Project Awards in:
* Air Quality
* Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy
* Habitat Restoration
* Waste Management
* Water Quality
* Environmental Education
* Disaster Recovery
This year, two special project categories have been created. The first,
for Environmental Education, will recognize a program that helps to
engage and empower participants to be stewards of their local natural
resources.
In addition, a Disaster Recovery category exclusively for 2008 will
honor an organization that utilized beneficial environmental practices
in recovering from one of this year's destructive weather-related
events.
The awards program is coordinated by the Iowa Governor's Office, the
Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and
Land Stewardship, the Iowa Department of Economic Development, the Iowa
Department of Education, the Iowa Department of Public Health and the
Iowa Waste Reduction Center.
