Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon won the 2010 Environmental Initiative Award in the Energy and Climate Protection category at the Minnesota Environmental Initiative’s Award Ceremony! Congratulations, everyone!
The Minnesota Environmental Initiative Awards are held every year to recognize outstanding partnerships. Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon won the Energy & Climate Protection Award for using innovative approaches to improve air quality, reduce energy use, and protect the climate by reducing energy consumption, promoting greenhouse gas reductions, and reducing criteria pollutants.
We’d like to extend a giant thanks to the students, teachers, building professionals, and other participants who have worked so hard in their schools to reduce energy use and cut carbon emissions! Thank you also to our project partners: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Office of Energy Security, Department of Commerce, and Environmental Resources Management.
