On Earth Day Join GOtham Green® in Celebrating Our GOtham Green Awards® winners

In advance of Earth Day which we observe today, Gotham Green® hosted its annual Gotham Green Awards® the past Thursday at Club Quarters Midtown.

Gotham Green® annually recognizes those who make a difference in our communities and the world by celebrating people and organizations, both Gotham members and non-Gotham members, who work in ways big and small; for-profit and not-for-profit, to make our world a little greener. GOtham Green® provides a platform for businesses and professionals who seek to connect and promote sustainable business opportunities, practices and relationships.

Past Gotham Green Awards® winner and Gotham Green® co-chair Josh Zinder of Joshua Zinder Architecture + Design (JZA+D) attended the announcement.
