TBJ Awards Area Green Businesses
The Triangle Business Journal recognized 28 winners who view the environment as a top priority for themselves and their businesses. The debut GREEN Awards luncheon, held at the North Ridge Country Club on Oct. 23, 2008, was born as a way to recognize the many businesses, government entities and nonprofits that are employing environmentally friendly practices as part of their daily lives.
Publisher Charlene Grunwaldt recalled an old Kenyan proverb laid out ages ago. “Treat the earth well. It was not given to you by your parents; it was loaned to you by your children.”
