Lynden companies earn Green Star Award

The Lynden family of companies was recently presented with a Green Star Award for environmental programs in Alaska. Lynden companies Lynden Transport and Alaska West Express are the first Alaska trucking companies to be recognized by Green Star for environmental stewardship.

The non-profit Green Star organization encourages businesses to practice waste reduction, energy conservation, and pollution prevention through education and a voluntary “green business” certification program. Lynden's award will be officially presented in May 2009 at an Anchorage Chamber of Commerce meeting.
