Green Log Awards Inc.

Listen in to the press conference and opening ceremony for the 2008 GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards. In this press conference, Jennifer Hetherington, Executive Director for Green Log Awards, Inc., discusses the creation of the awards program.

“The GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards™ were created in response to the growing demand for green building solutions, products, and information. The goal of the Awards Program is to shine a spotlight on those companies and individuals who, like our tagline proclaims, are “Building a greener world, one home at a time.” It is the collective contributions of individual companies such as the ones we will highlight today that are our greatest hope for the future.”

Jennifer also makes a call to action encouraging the public to vote for their favorite green products, solutions, web sites and blogs.

“Out of the 80+ nominees announced here today, we ask for your votes at polling places around the Web to produce the finalists.”

Jim Young, Chair of Green Log Awards, president of PrecisionCraft Log Homes, and incoming president of the Log Homes Council, also makes an appearance. Jim notes:

“It is my pleasure to be making the connection today between the health of our homes and the health of our communities and our environment. It’s a connection that is exemplified in my life’s work for more than 20 years, because, more than any other type of home, Log Homes are the most natural, organic and environmentally sustainable dwellings in the history of home building.”

The press conference also served as an opening ceremony to the 2008 GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards. Sponsors of the awards program were invited to present the nominees for each category.

What a phenomenal kick-off to the 2008 Green Log Awards!

In this interview, Jim Young discusses the inception, creation, and launch of the 2008 GREEN LOG Home & Lifestyle Awards. In his discussion with Scott Stroud from the Green Building Journal, Jim Young says, “This is really a public recognition program. We’re trying to get the public involved, everybody in the industry… I think the tagline ‘Building a Greener World One Home at a Time,’ really says what the objective is here; that we’re interested as an organization, and as a community, really, to promote the idea of green building. And, I think there’s a great deal of recognition out there that this is an important topic. So, people are getting on board, and I think that’s a great thing.”
