The California Integrated Waste Management Board's Waste Reduction Awards
Program (WRAP) urges all eligible organizations to seek the recognition they
deserve for helping to make California a great place to live and work.  In
addition to applying for the annual WRAP honors, we encourage our WRAP
constituents to consider pursuing the 2004 Governor's Environmental and
Economic Leadership Awards (GEELA).

GEELA represents the State's highest and most prestigious environmental
honor.  These awards recognize achievements by individuals, organizations,
and businesses related to the conservation of California's precious
resources, protection and enhancement of our environment, and the building
of public-private partnerships.

Competitive GEELA award categories are:

1) Children's Environmental Education
2) Watershed & Ecosystem Restoration
3) Sustainable Practices
4) Environmental-Economic Partnerships
5) Land Use
6) Technology Innovation and
7) Sustainable Facilities.

The 2004 GEELA application can be obtained at the following link:
