The Rotary Club of York’s Preserve Planet Earth Committee was initiated 35 or more years ago as the “Recycling Committee” to help members understand the state’s new edicts on recycling. We’ve greatly expanded our mission since then, but we have not lost our interest in recycling.
We distributed, to the club and other organizations, a list of places in York that accept material that can be recycled and we are working on a list of people and places that will repair stuff. Surely, every club can generate their own list. Google or your local waste management company can provide much information, but the list makes it easier. The picture is of our group collecting plastic waste to take to CRDC, a relatively new industry in York, that converts all plastic into building block material which can be used for and is superior to river sand in concrete and concrete block.
Email details of your club’s environmental projects to Enviro7390@gmail.com so the District Environmental Committee can share them in the newsletter and elsewhere.
