"The Sustainability Award recognizes those whose work has local impact within San Mateo County. Ideally, their work touches on the "3 E’s of Sustainability": Environmental Health, Economic Vitality, and Social Equity.  Nominees can be individuals, businesses, public agencies, or private organizations.

Some previous Sustainability Award winners are: Yerba Buena California Native Plant Nursery; Woodside; St. Francis Center, Redwood City; City of San Mateo for its community involvement program; Lyngso Garden Materials, in Redwood City; Pie Ranch, Pescadero.

For the Green Building Awards, SSMC works in partnership with the San Mateo County Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and with RecycleWorks to support sustainable design in architecture, and to recognize the designers, builders, and owners of green buildings in our county.  The Green Building Award is open to any building constructed within the last five years that is currently standing in San Mateo County. Additions and remodels can be nominated. 

Some previous Green Building Award winners are: San Mateo Public Library; Field Station at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve; Skillman Residence, San Carlos;  Habitat for Humanity, Miriam Street, Daly City; Sacred Heart School Science & Student Life Center, Atherton"   Read article.
