This was a great opportunity to meet and honor young stewards of the environment, and learn about their innovative programs.

The Green Difference Awards were held on Thursday, May 27 at Genzyme in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The event was well attended.  Most of the attendees were students, administrators and teachers from local schools — sharing their stories with their peers.

Speakers included:

• Henry Darnell, Vice President of Corporate Community Affairs, Genzyme Corporation
• Jim Hunt, Chief of Environment and Energy, City of Boston
• John Connolly, Boston City Councillor at Large
• Ava Anderson, Anderson Non Toxics
• Raymond Francis, author of Never Be Sick Again
