The BOMA San Francisco EARTH Award program rewards members with the best overall conservation efforts, including recycling programs, energy and water conservation efforts, air quality and toxics reduction programs, support for public transportation, and effective use of tenant education programs geared to promoting sustainability practices in commercial office buildings. BOMA San Francisco’s Environment Committee created the EARTH Award program as an opportunity for members to consider the entire spectrum of programs and practices that constitute an effective "sustainability program" for office buildings including what policies and procedures should be adopted that can help move a property toward becoming "green".
