Gibbs award

The Calabasas Environmental Commission is accepting nominations for the 2006 Carl Gibbs Environmental Excellence Award, which recognizes service to California's environment.

Gibbs was a longtime city environmental leader who died earlier this year.

The award honors voluntary activities that result in cleaner air and water, less waste, less traffic, conservation of energy and natural resources, efficiency in landscaping, and reduced use of hazardous materials.

Nominations will be accepted from individuals, companies, government agencies, consultants, educators, researchers and students.

Forms are available on the city of Calabasas Web site at www.cityofcalabasas.com and can be faxed to Alex Farassati, the city environmental services manager, at (818) 878-4205.
