Introduction
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.
