Cool Davis invites the community to submit nominations for the 2015 Awards for individuals (Eco-Heroes) and Businesses, Non-Profits and Groups (Climate Solution Awards). For both awards, the nominees must exhibit exemplary actions or achievements in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (carbon footprint) in the areas of:

Transportation (helping our community shift to non-fossil fuel vehicles and modes),
Consumption (reducing consumption and waste related to food, water, goods, and services)
Built energy (increasing efficiency of energy use in homes and commercial buildings.)

Other criteria include creating innovative solutions to real-life problems that can be replicated by others, and showing a commitment to an on-going, long-term effort.
