Annual Environmental Excellence in Business Breakfast Celebrating Environment Week 2007 

May 31, 2007 (Halifax, NS) – The Eco-Efficiency Centre is holding its eighth annual Environmental Excellence in Business Breakfast on June 4^th, 2007, 8 am at the Westin Nova Scotian in Halifax.  The kick off event to Environment Week 2007 in Nova Scotia celebrates good environmental performance in our business community.

 Six Nova Scotia companies will be recognized for their work to improve environmental and economic performance through technology changes, energy efficiency, resource conservation, reuse and recycling. For some companies, environmental awareness has simply become part of their day-to-day work place culture, and environmental improvements just make good business sense. All of the recognized businesses have experienced multiple benefits that encourage them to continue to endeavour to be both environmentally sound and economically successful.

Companies recognized are as follows:
Atlantic Gardens, Middle Sackville – Growing Green: Making every drop count
Baile Langan Log Cottages, Urbania – Modern sustainability the old-fashioned way
Frito Lay Canada, New Minas – Chipping in on waste reduction
Nu-Air Ventilation Systems Inc., Windsor – Energy efficiency while breathing easy
Royal & SunAlliance, Dartmouth – Insuring a green future
U.J. Robichaud Tim-BR Mart, Meteghan Center – Building a green future
