DUNWOODY, Ga. — The Dunwoody Sustainability Committee opened nominations Feb. 13 for its annual awards celebrating dedication, service and leadership in eco-friendly practices.
The nomination period for the annual Sustainability Hero Award program runs through March 8.
Nominees must be residents of Dunwoody, and nominated organizations must be licensed or have clear ties to sustainable initiatives in the city to be included in the selection process.
The Sustainability Committee will announce the winners in April.
Michael Cowan and Blooms of Dunwoody were selected as winners of the 2022 Dunwoody Sustainability Awards.
Blooms of Dunwoody was selected for its composting methods, elimination of almost all chemical products and vase recycling program.
Cowan, a former chair of the committee, helped overhaul the city’s Sustainability Plan, initiated Dunwoody’s effort to become a Bee City USA and established a partnership with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper.
“I was very happy to play a small part in helping Dunwoody recognize the importance of environmental sustainability over the last decade,” Cowan said. “More can and always should be done.”
The Sustainability Committee meets monthly and encourages the community to reduce its environmental impact through public education and outreach.
