About:

Interior Alaska Green Star is a non-profit organization that “encourages households and businesses to practice waste reduction, energy conservation and pollution prevention.” The Green Star Award program was created in 1990 by state regulators, environmentalists and business leaders to give positive recognition to organizations that exercise environmental responsibility. Interior Alaska Green Star started in 1998 and focused on the encouragement of recycling in both the domestic and corporate parts of Alaska. Since 2006, Alaska has faced many recycling hardships, but has been able to start up several different recycling programs including a computer recycling program and has many started many outreach or education programs.

From 2012 their new accomplishments include:

• Expanding community participation in the Electronics Recycling program, especially from the business community
• Publishing a new edition of the Fairbanks Recycling Guide in the fall of 2012
• Expanding our Educational Programs
• Re-engaging the local business community in the Green Star Award program
