Environmentally conscious businesses, organizations and individuals have until Jan. 30, 2012 to apply for the 2012 Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award, the Department of Environmental Protection.
The award is open to any Pennsylvania business, government agency, educational institution, individual or farm that has created or participated in the development of a project that promotes environmental stewardship and economic development.
Eligible projects include environmental technology innovation, clean energy innovation, pollution prevention and resource efficiency, community revitalization, environmental education or outreach, watershed stewardship and mine safety, among others.
Projects will be evaluated based on applicants’ demonstration of how their project will protect the environment; teamwork; public service; environmental education and outreach; pollution prevention; economic impact, including potential job creation; and the use of innovative technology.
The project must have been completed between Aug. 1, 2010 and July 31, 2011. While each candidate may submit only one application for a particular project, companies with multiple facilities or multiple projects may submit an application for each facility or project.
