2nd Annual Green Business, Residential and Bike Awards

Written by Boston Biker on Feb 11

Do you know an individual or a business making a difference in Boston to help green our city? I’m sure that you do, and I encourage you to nominate them for Mayor Menino’s 2nd Annual Green Business, Residential and Bike Awards.

Mayor Menino recognizes that Boston businesses and residents are an integral part of our efforts to turn Beantown into Greentown. We want to honor those businesses, residents and community leaders who are at the forefront of sustainability, from energy and water conservation, to green building and bike friendly practices. This year there will be numerous awards in three major categories:

  • The Bike Friendly Businesses Program recognizes businesses that encourage bicycling among their employees by engaging in bicycle friendly practices. All companies engaging in five bike friendly practices from the application receive recognition.
  • Green Business Awards will honor companies in Boston that implement exemplary sustainable business practices in their day-to-day operations. Boston Green Business Awards will be given in a variety of categories.
  • Green Residential Awards will honor residents who incorporate sustainable practices in their homes and neighborhood. This is a great tool to showcase the efforts that residents make and to educate others on ways they too can green their homes. Awards will be presented in a variety of categories.

Forms for the awards are attached and should be submitted by February 29, 2008. All winners will be announced and honored by Mayor Menino at a reception in April.

To find more information, please go to the City’s website: or contact Nancy Grilk, Nancy.Grilk@cityofboston.gov, (617) 635-3425.
