ecomaine’s 2021 eco-Excellence Award Winners Announced
Normally, ecomaine’s eco-Excellence Award winners are announced at a luncheon event with dozens of people in attendance. In fact, the 2020 event was one of the very last events ecomaine held before the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown occurred. But with so much uncertainty in early 2021, we chose to honor this year’s class via a video tribute, unveiled at ecomaine’s 2021 Annual Meeting in Portland.
