In September the Rotary Clubs of Evanston Lighthouse and Wilmette Harbor again participated in the International Coastal Cleanup through the Alliance for the Great Lakes (www.greatlakes.org). Their participation not only improved the health of the Great Lakes through litter removal but also helped to raise awareness about the problem with litter along our shorelines and in our waterways.
Nearly 7,000 volunteers in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan removed 26,271 pounds of trash from 209 cleanup locations.
Clean water is an important Rotary initiative. The annual cleanup is a simple way to help locally. Please consider participating next September.
