John Smith, winner

According to the press release: Smith was nominated because he “is dedicated to preserving our natural resources for the future generations. He not only practices conservation in his own life, but promotes it via free seminars whenever possible. He is a walking encyclopedia of green plumbing practices that can save not only water, but money as well for those following his suggestions.” So if you want a licensed green plumber, call 520-884-0040.

Runners up were Holly Hutchinson, a community gardener and Tony Vaccaro (owner of solar-powered Brooklyn Pizza and Sky Bar, on 4th Avenue in Tucson).
