One small business/institution (fewer than 50 employees) and one large (50 or more employees) will be recognized in each category. In 2007, we will also recognize a large apartment building in the recycling category. The Recycling Awards go to institutions that are leaders in recycling, buying supplies with recycled content, and preventing waste, while the Transportation Awards go to businesses that are leaders in promoting transportation options such as subsidizing MBTA passes, operating a shuttle bus to a nearby T stop, providing secure parking for bicycles, and allowing employees to telecommute.

“The Go Green Award is an excellent way of recognizing Cambridge businesses for their efforts to preserve the environment and quality of life in Cambridge. Businesses in Cambridge have always been active in promoting and implementing environmental programs, and we want to make sure that their efforts are appreciated and applauded.”
----- City Manager, Robert W. Healy -----

If your business/institution or one you know of makes an outstanding effort to eliminate solid waste, improve air quality, or reduce traffic congestion, please consider submitting a GoGreen Award nomination describing their trip reduction and/or recycling and waste reduction programs. Individual employees are also encouraged to nominate their employer for consideration.
