Each year, the Alaska Forum on the Environment recognizes the accomplishments of individuals through the Environmental Excellence Award, and organizations through the Outstanding Achievement Award

The Alaska Forum on the Environment is proud to recognize the recipient of the 2008, Environmental Excellence Award:

Mary Walker - While volunteering at Bean's Cafe, Mary arrived at the idea of a recycling program that would benefit both Anchorage's homeless and the environment. Mary developed a program in which homeless citizens collect resectable materials from the 4th Avenue vendor stands and are paid for their work by the Municipality of Anchorage. Mary is now working on expanding the program by approaching city and state offices and building managers around Anchorage. Congratulations Mary!
