The 2008 Green Awards event held on April 16 honored those in the Charlotte area who were making efforts to incorporate environmentally sustainable practices into their businesses and community work.  By doing so, they show others how to strengthen the environmental health of our region.

The Green Awards recognized individuals, businesses, government leaders and entities, and nonprofit organizations in two main categories - General Awards and Green Building Awards.  Work or projects completed from January 2007 to December 2007 were considered.
