IDEM seeks nominations for Governor’s environmental excellence awards
Indiana businesses, agricultural producers, governments, individuals, technical assistance organizations, educational groups and nonprofit organizations who can demonstrate extraordinary efforts in pollution prevention and environmental management are encouraged to apply for the 2009 Indiana’s Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence.
Awards will be given for three categories, Energy/Renewable Resources, Pollution Prevention and Five Years’ Continuous Improvement. These awards are open to all Indiana facilities, state and local units of government, individuals, and technical assistance organizations that implement exemplary environmental projects with measurable results.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is accepting applications until 5 p.m. on Monday, April 20. Winners will be invited to a banquet to celebrate their accomplishments.
“These awards exemplify that Indiana industry and IDEM can work together to ensure that thoughtful environmental action can strengthen both the economy and the environment,” said Thomas Easterly, IDEM commissioner.” Working toward common goals is something that benefits the entire state.”
