The Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is looking to recognize local businesses who are practicing sustainability with the Green by Design Awards, and applications are being accepted through September 15.

Entrants should demonstrate eco-friendly tactics in areas such as waste reduction, energy/water conservation or product stewardship. The winners will receive special recognition by the CVB to commemorate their efforts.

Forms are available for download on the Green by Design site. This site also has information about the recently launched Scottsdale Green by Design Tool Kit, which provides tips and resources for businesses to reduce their environmental impact.
