Thank you!

This Saturday at the Cincinnati Earth Day celebration, I was presented with an award from the Greater Cincinnati Earth Coalition. There were a few other recipients: one in government, one for schools (student and teacher), and one in business. When I can find the names and the details, I will post them so the others can be celebrated too. I was honored to be nominated by my neighbors downtown in the category of citizen. When attempting to explain this to my nieces and nephews, we just told them that Brianne was a good girl and got to shake hands with the Mayor, so don’t cheat at Go Fish or Old Maid and maybe you can shake hands with the Mayor someday too.
I would like to say that I very much appreciate the support and cooperation I’ve had from individuals, businesses, and anyone interested in going green.
Certainly no one makes things happen on their own, and I would like to extend a special thanks to Suzanne, who takes care of business for Live Green Cincinnati. Literally. If you think walking and chewing gum is hard, you should try being creative, reaching out to people, and managing the technical details of a website at the same time. We are a team in this, and there are many others who provide ideas, feedback, and encouragement. I especially feel blessed to be nearly thirty and have a mom and dad who still want to cut my name out of the paper and put it in a special box in the closet. What may have been embarassing at age 9 is rather gratifying 20-some years later.
So enough of the mushiness, I’ll consider this a challenge to keep bringing the green to Cincinnati. Together, we can make it happen here!
