The Husky Green Awards recognize the top sustainability superstars at the University of Washington, but we need your help to find them!
There's less than one month left to nominate your environmental role model for a Husky Green Award. Students, faculty, and staff from any of the UW campuses are eligible, and any member of the UW community can submit a nomination before March 20, 2015.
The Husky Green Awards are given annually to individuals and teams from all UW campuses who demonstrate initiative, leadership and dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Several dozen students, faculty and staff have received Husky Green Awards since the program began in 2010.
The Husky Green Awards are sponsored by the Environmental Stewardship Committee, which is responsible for guiding the UW’s Climate Action Plan goals. The awards are the only recognition program at the University which recognize a commitment to sustainability. Starting in 2013, the program created the Husky Green Legacy Award to memorialize the efforts and contributions of UW’s environmental sustainability leaders.
If you know someone who deserves the spotlight for going above and beyond with their environmental actions, show your appreciation today by nominating them for a Husky Green Award. Go to sustainability.uw.edu/hga for the nomination form and more details.
