Milo Speaks at CU Boulder and Receives Award from Jean-Michel Cousteau...
Milo was an invited speaker at the 2nd annual Making WAVES Conference at the University of Colorado in Boulder, on October 21st, 2012. Keynote speaker, Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques Cousteau, awarded Milo the Turtles of Change award for his work with Be Straw Free. It was not only a surprise, but a thrill and an honor to receive.
The Turtles of Change, from Blue Turtle.com, is "an award program recognizing carefully selected organizations and individuals that have accomplished something significant for the community or planet that will educate and serve as a model for others around the world. The primary goal is to promote the individual or group that is receiving the award. The award is an actual small handmade bronze statue of a turtle, created by internationally known artist Nikola Kosic from Montenegro."
Milo must now select and present the coveted bronze sculpture to the next deserving recipient. This difficult decision will be announced here shortly!
Stay tuned... Next week Milo is invited to speak at the annual Best Practices Conference: People, Planet, Profit in Dallas,Texas, where he will address leaders of the restaurant industry and leaders of the largest restaurant chains in the US.
