Ecomaine is accepting nominations for its 2024 Eco-Excellence Awards to honor recycling, sustainability and waste diversion advocates in Maine who are creating more sustainable models of living in their communities.
Nominations are open Jan. 17. Nominees can be businesses, schools, nonprofits, municipalities or staff, or individuals. Award recipients will be selected based on the effectiveness, increased awareness, community impact and ease of replication of their sustainability programs or initiatives, according to an ecomaine news release.
In 2023, Yarmouth resident David Ertz received an Eco-Excellence Award for his work on sustainability as part of the town’s Committee for Energy Efficiency and Sustainability.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
