Recycling
at Work Campaign Announces Awards Program The
Recycling at Work Campaign announces the Seventh Annual Recycling at Work
Awards. These awards honor
the companies, organizations, universities, individuals, local, state and
federal government entities whose environmental leadership continues to
make recycling successful. This year's awards program features some new
categories and broader eligibility to allow for greater participation. The
two top awards are the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Robert Rodale
Awards. DMA established the
annual Robert Rodale Environmental Leadership Awards competition in 1991
to recognize environmental leadership.
These awards honor the memory and spirit of the Rodale Press'
long-time chairman and chief executive officer, the late Robert David
Rodale. The two top awards, Recycler of the Year and Environmental Mailer
of the Year, include a $5,000 cash award, funded by the Rodale Press, to
be donated in the names of the winners, to an environmental cause of their
choice. In
addition to The DMA Rodale Awards, Recycling at Work Leadership Awards
will be given in eight additional categories, including Clean Your Files
Day, Buy Recycled, Closing the Loop, Public Outreach, Employee Education,
Commercial Recycling, Environmental Responsibility, and Model Recycler.
Entrants can apply in as many categories as they wish. Judging
criteria are listed for each award category.
It is not necessary, however, for an entry to meet all of the
criteria in order to compete. The
Recycling at Work Awards Ceremony will be held in conjunction with the
annual Recycling at Work seminar in the spring of 2000 in Washington D.C.
All award winners will have their programs featured in a Best
Practices Guide for Recycling at Work. You can download the application at
the following webstie URL location: www.usmayors.org/uscm/recycle/awards/2000award.htm
If
