2008 Green Cleaning Award Winners

A three-person jury of green-cleaning professionals named one Grand Award winner in each of three categories: school districts, colleges and universities. It also awarded five Honorable Mentions. The eight winners are profiled in a special green-cleaning section in AS&U’s December 2008 issue and were announced at the inaugural Green Clean Schools National Summit on November 12 in Washington, D.C.

Judging criteria were based on the comprehensiveness and quality of the green-cleaning program and how well each institution followed the following five steps, as outlined in the second edition of The Quick & Easy Guide to Green Cleaning in Schools: use green-cleaning products, use green equipment and supplies, adopt green-cleaning procedures, use green paper and plastic products, and share the responsibility.
