The City of Encinitas Environmental Commission is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Environmental Award Program. The City is seeking nominations for individuals and businesses that deserve recognition for their commitment to environmental stewardship and outstanding environmental achievements in Encinitas.

There are two award categories, one for individuals and non-profits, and one for businesses.
