After a brutal winter, it’s time to celebrate green. The county is seeking nominations for environmentally-conscious businesses that deserve recognition.

Retail, manufacturing, small business, corporations and institutions are invited to participate in the “Green Business” award program.  The Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry and the Chester County Commissioners, through the Chester County Solid Waste Authority, recognize businesses that implement efficient resource conservation, pollution prevention, waste reduction, recycling and/or “buying recycled” business practices, a county news release said.

If you would like your company’s program recognized at the chamber’s annual awards dinner, call 610-273-3771, ext. 228 or email nfromnick@chestercswa.org to request a 2013 Green Business Award application form.
