Mayor Dick Murphy will present the Department of Environmental Services Recycling Awards and San Diego EarthWorks' EARTH Awards. Supervisor Pam Slater will present the Air Pollution Control District Clean Air Award. The reception will be held at the City of San Diego Environmental Services Building, located at 6901 Ridgehaven Court in Kearny Mesa. EarthWorks is asking the public to help identify potential recipients for the EARTH Awards. The nomination deadline is April 15. Often, people making extraordinary efforts on behalf of the environment and our quality of life are unappreciated beyond their small circle of associates. EarthWorks' EARTH Awards help give these individuals and groups the wider acknowledgment they deserve, and will encourage others to follow their example. A nomination form can be obtained from the EarthWorks website, www .earthdayweb.org, or by calling the office at (858) 272-7370. San Diego EarthWorks, a nonprofit corporation, is a network of volunteers in service for a healthy, prosperous and sustainable future for all living things. Their volunteers produce the annual EarthFair in Balboa Park, organize habitat restoration projects, and host events that inform and educate people about environmental issues.
