Stay Green Inc. was the proud first recipient in the Santa Clarita Valley of Sen. Fran Pavley’s monthly sustainability award, which is given to businesses and organizations throughout Pavley’s 27th district that prioritize the environment.

Among Stay Green’s earth-friendly practices are water conservation that has saved millions of gallons throughout the Santa Clarita Valley, turf conversions, green waste recycling and use of organic, sustainable foods for fertilizer. For example, in Santa Clarita’s Fair Oaks Ranch neighborhood, Stay Green’s use of WeatherTRAK water management resulted in an 18 percent reduction – more than 2 million gallons – in water consumption in the first 11 months after the system’s installation.

The award was presented to company founder and Executive Chairman Richard Angelo and President and CEO Chris Angelo on Friday by Kara Seward, district director for Pavley, D-Agoura Hills.

“It’s always an honor to receive recognition for all the hard work you put forth,” Chris Angelo said.

Seward said Pavley has been presenting the awards for the last several years.

“It’s a monthly sustainability award that recognizes businesses working to implement (environmental) strategies,” she said.

She said Stay Green was a natural candidate for the award after seeing the company’s dedication to conservation and sustainability.
