A message from Air Quality's Bureau Chief, Myra Reece...


Myra Reece, Bureau Chief"The Bureau of Air Quality is very excited to announce the first annual “Spare the Air” Awards Luncheon scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008 at the Seawell’s Restaurant in Columbia. This event is for YOU, about YOU and the exemplary job that YOU do!
We recognize that many of our partners are implementing positive changes in the way they do business. We applaud you in your level of commitment and determination to reduce pollution.
We are proud of all the positive gains made throughout the state thus far and are hopeful that we can count on you to keep us informed of other innovative and successful initiatives taking place in your community. Whether big or small, reducing air pollution begins with a single act. So, please join us in this effort by nominating a business, community group, peer or an individual for their exceptional hard work for air quality. Nominations for this recognition are due by Sept. 30, 2008, so please don’t delay. Let’s keep the momentum going!


Purpose

To recognize environmental leaders (i.e., companies, groups, communities, schools, local governments and individuals) that have made a voluntary commitment to promote and practice air quality improvement in South Carolina. Those environmental leaders nominated should demonstrate continuous environmental improvement through such practices as energy conservation, behavioral modifications, and other strategies to improve air quality.
