Dear Daniel Stafford, Your green-business nominee could win a $5,000 People & Planet Award in the category of "sustainable food" » Happy spring! We're celebrating the turning of the season by opening nominations for our fourth People & Planet Awards cycle. This time around, we'll be honoring green businesses that take extraordinary steps to build a sustainable food system;  between now and April 4, we're collecting nominations. Tell us why your favorite small, green business should win » You may nominate any green business you wish, and please tell us BOTH how your choice is a general sustainability leader AND how your choice is advancing a local, organic, and GMO-free food system. The business you nominate could be a farm or CSA, or it could be a business that serves food as part of their operations: a day-care, a cafe, or a bed-and-breakfast. Food growers, manufacturers, distributors, sellers, and servers are all eligible. Use your imagination in proposing a nominee! And please be as descriptive as possible in explaining why your nominated business is good for both people and the planet. [See our rules for more about eligibility.] From the nominations, our panel of green-business experts* will select 10 finalists.  We'll share the stories of the finalists, and conduct a run-off vote for three winners who will each receive a prize of $5,000.  Let our gallery of previous winners inspire you, as you consider which business to nominate.  We'll update the gallery and announce the "sustainable food" winners at the beginning of summer. Good luck to all of the nominees, and thanks for your submission! Alisa Gravitz, President/CEO Green America *Judges for this season's awards program include: Katie Galloway & Gigi Abbadie, Aveda; Justin Conway, Calvert Foundation; Elysa Hammond, Clif Bar; Lisa Stokke, Food Democracy Now; Cheryl Newman, Honest Tea;  Kristin Bower, Neighborhood Farm Initiative; Theresa Marquez, Organic Valley; John Lively, Preserve (winter winner!); Eric Henry, TS Designs; and Reed Doyle, Seventh Generation; Fran Teplitz & Andrew Korfhage, Green America. Thank you to our panel!
