PRESS RELEASE
Earth Day Nominees Sought

March 8, 2012 (Moscow, Idaho) - The City of Moscow is seeking nominations for the Mayor's 2012 Earth Day Awards. The award recognizes Moscow residents for activities conducive to environmental sustainability. Categories include individuals, businesses, students/schools, non-profits/service organizations/government, building/development, green visionaries (long-range environmental objectives), and green neighbors (from nearby communities). Worthy candidates who don't fit into those categories will also be considered.

The concept, first set forward in 2006, is "to acknowledge and encourage sustainable practices that foster environmental sustainability through conservation, recycling, reuse, construction/design, and public education." Earth Day has been celebrated on April 22 each year since its inception in 1970. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day, the event became international in 1990, and today, is celebrated in more than 175 nations.

Nominations should include the nominators' and nominees' names, contact information, and a brief description of why they are worthy of the recognition. Nominations are due by March 14, 2012 and may be submitted by letter or email to the City of Moscow, Admin Dept. (Attn: Sustainable Environment Commission), P.O. Box 9203; Moscow ID 83843 or electronically to the Sustainable Environment Commission sec at ci.moscow.id.us<mailto:sec at ci.moscow.id.us>. The Sustainable Environment Commission will evaluate nominations and provide recommendations to Mayor Chaney, who will determine the award winners.

For more information on the Earth Day Awards please contact Sustainability Intern Brady McNall at 208.883.7122 or by email at bmcnall at ci.moscow.id.us<mailto:bmcnall at ci.moscow.id.us>.
