<p>Huge congratulations to the three winners in the winter round of
our People & Planet Awards program.<br><br>This round of awards*
went to green businesses with innovative approaches to recycling,
reuse, and waste reduction -- <b>strategies for getting to zero
waste</b>. The winners each receive $5,000 to deepen their
business's commitment to people and the planet.<br><br>CompostNow
CEO Justin Senkbeil told us the award will help his company offer
services to more North Carolinians who can't maintain an at-home
compost pile. CompostNow <b>provides a pick-up service for
organic waste</b>, later providing finished compost to regional
urban farms and community gardens -- including <a href="http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Ghauwqf8ZicUcDcVUr6oegtyscRR9hkI" target="_blank">Raleigh
City Farm</a>, a People & Planet winner in summer
2012!<br><br>In addition to their robust container-return program,
Hummingbird Wholesale wowed People & Planet voters with an <a href="http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=TJhJTr3AO4aiBdEQ0hDolwtyscRR9hkI" target="_blank">inspiring
video</a> of their bike-delivery system. We're happy to report
that Hummingbird's Kristie Steele tells us, "<b>Our prize money will
buy us a second electric bike cart</b>, doubling our bike delivery
capacity. Making local deliveries via bike pays off in cleaner air,
fun and healthy work, and ongoing inspiration for our co-owners and
community."<br><br>And finally, Preserve, which manufactures plastic
personal care products out of recycled yogurt containers, lip-balm
tubes, Brita filters, and other toss-away items, <b>will be paying
its award money forward</b> by adding their prize money to the
rewards they'll provide to the winners of their own <a href="http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ExiJdN7Zjs%2FfHm5lFpYPpwtyscRR9hkI" target="_blank">2013

March 12... and our next round of People & Planet Awards starts
March 21. We'll be collecting nominations starting then for
our spring awards, in the category of "sustainable
food."<br><br><b>Learn more about all of our </b><a href="http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=oztdL61o39hje9NpsFmIrQtyscRR9hkI" target="_blank"><b>People
