Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 21, 2010 -- Chicago, IL – EverLights, Inc. has been chosen as a finalist for Mayor Daley’s 2010 GreenWorks Award in the category of Innovation in Green Business.

The Innovation in Green Business Award recognizes “outstanding businesses whose operations, products or services, and employees most consistently and effectively strive to create social, environmental and economic value.” EverLights is a leader in providing sustainable solutions to their customers and also for their own eco-friendly business plan. In 2010, EverLights reduced their total energy consumption by 75 percent. This helped saved nearly $8,000 a year and was comparable to removing greenhouse gases that would equal taking 12 cars off the road and planting 1,416 trees. In 2009, EverLights help divert enough mercury from recycling fluorescent lighting to protect over 650,000 acres of clean water.

Some of EverLights other green efforts include expanding native landscaping, incorporating reusable products, using eco-friendly printing methods and recycled materials, increasing recycling programs, the use of hybrid vehicles, and decreasing water waste. In addition EverLights and sister company, Evergreen Supply Company, have helped donate time and resources to rebuilding local community sites.
