Each year, Keep Martin Beautiful hosts the Environmental Stewardship Awards as a way to recognize and reward notable efforts within the community to promote environmental stewardship and innovation through education and action.

This year we received 57 nominations in the following five categories: Nonprofit & Civic Groups, Youth & School Groups, Business & Professional, Government Agencies and Unsung Hero. The projects ranged in focus, including Litter Removal and Prevention activities, Recycling, Beautification and Neighborhood Revitalization, and other Innovative Projects such as green building, energy efficiency and environmental initiatives.


The winners will be announced at the 2012 Environmental Stewardship Awards banquet on February 8, and we hope that you will join us to honor the achievements of green leaders in our community.

Josh Cohen, local radio host of Josh Cohen & the Hometeam, will serve as our Master of Ceremonies, with Mary Kindel, the 2011 Riley Jackson Award Winner and City of Stuart Recycling & Conservation Coordinator, serving as the honorary chair for this year's event.  

In addition to revealing the winners, attendees will enjoy a delicious dinner, cash bar and fabulous silent auction with some great environmentally-friendly items to bid on.

The evening also provides an opportunity to mingle with other people who care about improving Martin County's quality of life. Attendees range from elected officials to business owners, non-profits to school groups, proving further that the Environmental Stewardship Awards is the place "to be and be green."
