Evans & Co., 101 S. Sixth St., Redlands, has received the city's Green Action Award for "their efforts to reduce their own carbon footprint and aid the environment even outside of their local community," according to a news release. Salon owner Cheryl Evans received the award this week.  In addition to remodeling the business with energy-efficient construction materials, Evans & Co. encourages customers to recycle empty beauty product containers by giving them discounts on products bought at the shop when they return the empty containers for recycling.
