After working on a number of notable projects, Stollery teamed up with Michael Aron to produce a three-part NJN News series "Recycling," which won a 1988 Mid-Atlantic Emmy Award from the Philadelphia regional chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Stollery also wrote and produced "Plastics Packaging: Here Today, Here Tomorrow" which won a 1990 Philadelphia-area Emmy Award, as well as "Earth Alerts" and "Breathe Easy Moments," both of which were nominated for 1991 Philadelphia-area Emmys.

In 1992, Stollery produced, wrote, and photographed "The Air We Breathe" which was co-produced with the Regional Plan Association. "The Air We Breathe" was nominated for a Philadelphia Emmy award and also won a First Place award from the American Planners Association. Again, in 1993, Stollery and Michael Aron teamed up for a four-part NJN News series "Alternative Fuels: Driving the Future." The series, which explored alternatives to traditional gasoline was expanded into a half-hour public affairs special, which was nominated for a regional Emmy.
