Greetings!
We are excited to announce the finalists for the 2012 Sustainable Florida Best Practice Awards. The nominees were incredible this year and the competition was tough. Meet the finalists below and make plans to join in September.
We hosted a great webinar for the Florida Green School Network. More than 40 participated in the online conference that highlighted best practices in facility management, healthy and nutrition and STEM curriculum.
The Florida Green School Network is sponsored by a generous grant from FPL. More than 80 nominations are being judged. Finalists will be announced at the beginning of the new school year.
There are several events coming over the next few months. We encourage you to check them out and learn more. All the best, Tim Center, Esq. Executive Director P.S. Be sure to join us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date on the latest sustainability news in Florida and beyond. |
