A Green Business Award!
Somebody please pinch me. It’s time! It’s time!
We’re heading to the state capital later this week because I’ve got an award to pick up. (Start pinching me now.) Gadanke is an oh-so-crazy-proud winner of the EcoStar Pollution Prevention Award.

The pictures below are all going to be projected somewhere in the Capitol Rotunda while we all mingle with the Governor and one another.

My parents will be there. Martin will be there. It’s all feeling very surreal. You’re going to need to pinch me again…

It’s also feeling so exciting to have my very own home state acknowledge the green business choices I’m working so very hard to do.

Thank you all for helping me make this dream happen. I’ll share all the awesomeness with you when I get home.

Isn’t it not very eco-conscious for all of the award recipients to drive there from all over the state…. all of that extra pollution from all of those vehicles taking that trip for the sole purpose of receiving an award???
I kid. Really. Honestly. I’m just kidding.
I’m really happy for you & like I posted above – I think it’s awesome that you’ve won an award!

THANK YOU soooo, soo much everyone.
Heather, I think we discussed your point through half the car trip. ;) I’m not sure about others, but for us, there were about eight other errands incorporated into the trip… including the “big city” grocery store.
