As Monterey County Weekly works to achieve LEED platinum certification for its building in Seaside, Calif., assistant editor Kera Abraham is chronicling their progress by blog.
Weekly reporter Kera Abraham took home a third-place award in the Outstanding Small Market Reporting (Print) category in the Society of Environmental Journalists' annual awards for reporting on the environment. "Abraham did an excellent job with two divergent environmental issues," the judges write, "the omnipresent plastic in the aquatic environment, and the destructive environmental practices of marijuana farms on federal park land."
