Dear Mr. Rundell:

It gives me great pleasure to present you with the Governor’s Pollution Prevention Award for 2005. I commend your company’s exemplary efforts in reducing waste by directly targeting the source. Your accomplishments have truly benefited all citizens of this state by giving them a healthier and safer environment in which to live.

With the dedicated assistance of your organization, Illinois has made terrific progress in the continuing quest to protect our environment. The air that we breathe and the water that we drink are cleaner than they have been in previous decades. As Governor, I am committed to encouraging the widespread use of pollution prevention strategies by agencies in my administration, and by businesses and organizations such as yours. These efforts not only produce a healthier environment, but they also promote a stronger economy.

The pollution prevention programs and activities that you have undertaken reflect your strong commitment to the well being of your clients, employees and neighbors. Your actions certainly serve as an example for others to follow.

On behalf of the citizens of Illinois, I offer my fondest congratulations, and extend my best wishes for continued success.

Sincerely,

Rod Blagojevich
Governor
