MINNEAPOLIS (April, 1999) - Environmental Initiative Awards are given to companies and organizations that have taken the lead in executing substantial changes in response to pressing environmental issues. The awards recognize the public and private parties involved in the winning projects, all of whom have done their part - and then some - to increase our understanding of increasingly complex environmental issues. The awards program emphasizes the collaboration necessary to reach truly unique and forward-thinking environmental solutions.

The categories for the 6th Annual Awards are:

  • Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
  • Environmental Education
  • Environmental Management
  • Innovative Environmental Policy
  • Land Use and Community Development
  • The Minnesota Environmental Initiative is a nonprofit organization that works with business, government and advocacy groups to promote environmental excellence in policy, industrial management, land use and energy generation and use.
