SITKA - Last month, 24 Sitka businesses, agencies and not-for-profit groups were awarded the 2012 Sitka Green Business Award for their green business practices by the Sitka Global Warming Group and Sustainable Sitka (SGWG/SS).

Green business practices, like turning off lights, recycling, carpooling, composting, serving organic and local foods and encouraging use of reusable cups/bags/plates, reduce waste, save energy and can save businesses money, improve the local and global community and economy, and benefit the environment. Now in its third year, the award program continues to encourage businesses by providing businesses a list of useful, easy, locally-proven business practices to save energy, money and resources. The program's four levels recognize different levels of commitment towards green practices.

The special recognition category was set up for a business or group involved in a one-time, major environmental initiative.
