Green leader: In addition to celebrating 40 years of supporting green actions in Massachusetts and beyond, the Center for EcoTechnology was among three dozen recipients across New England honored for helping to improve New England's environment.
The Center for EcoTechnology was noted for being a leader and pioneer in food recovery in Massachusetts, most recently through its partnership with the state Department of Environmental Protection to offer RecyclingWorks MA. Wasted food makes up the largest component of our country's municipal solid waste and accounts for the largest portion of its methane emissions, making wasted food a significant environmental issue. In addition, reducing food losses by just 15 percent could feed more than 25 million Americans each year, according to the National Resources Defense Council.
Each year EPA New England recognizes individuals and groups in the six New England states who have worked to protect or improve the region's environment in distinct ways. The merit awards, given out since 1970, honor individuals and groups who have shown particular ingenuity and commitment in their efforts.
The Center for EcoTechnology has offered proven advice and resources to save you money, make you more comfortable at home, and help your business perform better for 40 years
