Presenting the 2016 Mayor’s Climate Protection Award Winners

Last night, the city announced the 2016 winners of the Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement Award, honoring six local businesses or organizations promoting and practicing sustainable, environmentally-friendly operations. The MCPA awards are given in four categories: environmental stewardship, pollution prevention, resource conservation, and innovative best practices. This year’s honorees, the second annual class, also include winners of a new award: the Mayor’s Overall Award, given to two 2015 recipients who exceeded the expectations set by their first recognition.
