GoGreen Awards History
“The GoGreen Awards recognize Cambridge businesses and organizations for their efforts to preserve the environment and quality of life in Cambridge. Many of our businesses and organizations are active in promoting and implementing environmental programs, and we want to make sure that their efforts are appreciated and applauded.”
- Robert W. Healy
