Aug 31: Deadline for nominating GASP Environmental Heroes

This fall marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of GASP (the Group Against Smog and Pollution), the local environmental group dedicated to improving air quality and the environmental health of our region.


To celebrate this noteworthy occasion, we will be honoring 40 regional Environmental Heroes. These

may include representatives of local environmental organizations, scientists, medical professionals,

government, business and nonprofit leaders, citizen activists, and other individuals who have worked

to improve southwestern Pennsylvania’s environment. Please help us to identify worthy candidates

from your board, staff, membership or anyone you think has contributed to improving southwestern

Pennsylvania’s environment over the last forty years.


Nominating someone is easy. Just send this form to GASP, or simply email a one page summary

of the individual’s contribution to improving southwestern Pennsylvania’s environment, along with

their name, address, phone and email, to hero@gasp-pgh.org. Don’t forget to include the nominator

information as well. Self-nominations are permitted.


The deadline for submission is August 31, 2009. Environmental Heroes will be recognized at our 40th

Anniversary celebration event, on Friday, October 23rd at the Union Project in Highland Park.
