Cypress, CA (March 1, 2017) – U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi has been named the 2017 recipient of the ECOS® Environmental Award for her exceptional leadership in environmental protection. Leader Pelosi received the prestigious award in honor of her career-long fight against climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction. Earth Friendly Products, the maker of ECOS™ plant-powered cleaning products, established the annual ECOS Environmental Award to honor national leaders who have played an important role in environmental advocacy.
Leader Pelosi has a long, highly distinguished record of supporting public policies that protect the American environment and its citizens.

In addition, she has long supported environmental conservation programs and the protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which is threatened by oil exploration.
