Nominations open

The Green Heart Award believes ‘You make a difference’. There are individuals who have true ‘green hearts’ and are the unsung heroes of our day who have made a significant contribution to going green by finding creative and interesting ways to improve their workplace, department, office or building’s environmental footprint.

So who in your organization deserves to be recognized?  Is it the guy on the third floor who convinced the company to change to energy-efficient light bulbs or your supervisor who started everyone recycling?

The Award offers an attractive cash prize for both the winner and his or her nominator, among a host of other sponsored prizes.

To make your nomination, visit www.greenofficeweek.co.za/default.html and fill in a nomination form. Entries must reach them by 20 April 2012 and the Award will be presented at a luncheon on 20 June 2012.

For all the latest green news follow @GOWSA on twitter or visit their Facebook page.
