In the green news, or rather the deep blue, one of the companies I write for received the Coastal America 2007 Partnership Award. Since I do a bit about charity (and wrote the release) I thought I'd include excerpts here;

UVision accepted the "Coastal America 2007 Partnership Award", presented by President George W. Bush to partners of the "Thank You Ocean" campaign on Jan 22, 2008.

Founded in 1991 by former President George H.W. Bush, The Coastal America Partnership established the Coastal America Partnership Awards Program to recognize outstanding team efforts to restore and protect the coastal environment. Mr. Uddin said "We are excited for the opportunity to participate in this campaign to help protect and raise awareness of the coastal treasures of the United States."

Also coming up this week is the second annual "Thank You Ocean Day", as proclaimed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. He named June 8th as a day to, "Reflect on the many benefits the world's oceans provide," and, "resolve to protect marine ecosystems."
