The Lafayette Green Awards will recognize outstanding efforts during 2008 that have contributed to a more sustainable community and helped the city achieve its environmental goals. Winners will be announced in April, in conjunction with Earth Day 2009. Up to 10 awards will be given across five different categories: residents, businesses, schools, community organizations, and builders.

Last year there were more than 20 nominations and 9 winners! The winners were recognized by the Mayor at the City Council meeting in April. View a summary of last year's winners.

This year, the nominating period begins on November 1st, 2008 and ends on February 28th, 2009. Nominations can be made by any Lafayette resident or organization with a Lafayette address. You can nominate yourself or another person or organization.

Winners will be selected during March by the city's Environmental Task Force using the following criteria:
  • How successfully did the candidate’s activities reduce their footprint (current and future)?
  • How much have the candidate’s activities helped achieve the city’s environmental goals?
  • How much have the candidate’s activities inspired others in the community? Can it be replicated?
