WorkingPerson.com and Timberland PRO announce Green Hammer Award competition to encourage innovative, sustainable building practices; America to vote for winner!


Buchanan, MI – October 20, 2008 – Timberland PRO and The Working Person’s Store have announced the first annual Green Hammer Award competition to honor (and reward) the efforts put forth by America’s workforce to preserve and protect our environment through sustainable building practices.

Green Hammer Award entrants are invited to submit a photo and brief description of a project where they’ve been able to reduce their use of natural resources, or recycle materials in an innovative way. Finalists for the competition will be posted on the WorkingPerson.com web site. Visitors will then be invited to vote for their favorite entry. When the votes are counted, the winning entrant will receive $1,000 worth of Timberland PRO boots and work apparel of their choice from WorkingPerson.com.

“These days most people understand the importance of conservation, recycling and sustainability” said Eric Deniger, CEO of Working Person’s Store. “It’s important that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

“We’re proud to partner with the Working Person’s Store in sponsoring the Green Hammer Award” said Susan Emerick, Marketing Manager of Timberland PRO. “This initiative is in line with Timberland’s focus on finding grassroots organizations to partner with that are also committed to sustainability, reusing and recycling materials, educating participants, and encouraging carbon neutrality in an effort to improve the communities in which we live and work.”
