Environmental Committee Dates for Events

Here are dates to put on your calendar from the environmental commitee:

Earth Day, April 22, 7 pm - viewing of "The Story of Plastics" at the Community Arts Center in Buffalo Grove provided by ESRAG, the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group. This documentary film won an Emmy Award and contains eye-opening footage about the international waste trade, global recycling realities, and the toxic effects of plastic production. The public will be invited and we hope to have good attendance to learn about this important topic

May 7 - 1 pm at Green Lake for a dedication and tour of the Arboretum that our club provided financial assistance and volunteers for. Here is the sign that will be installed there:

May 21 - 9 am to noon - Willow Stream Park at the nature playground near the outdoor pool off of Farrington Drive. We will be planting native plants at an overgrown bed and on a berm (unoficially Ryan's Hill) nearby. This is a project that we hope to get many club members out to help. Thanks!

Request for Electronic Devices for Reuse

Hi,

My name is Jacob Edley and I’m a junior at Stevenson High School. I’m doing an impact project through Springboard’s 18 under 18 program where I partnered with PCs for People in order to get computers into the hands of Illinois residents who don’t have computer access.

I was hoping to inform local businesses of an upcoming donation event I am doing. Is it possible for you to pass on the information below to fellow Rotary members? Getting businesses involved with my project can really make a huge difference.

I’m reaching out to you hoping that your company may have used computers or other electronic devices that you can donate to help Illinois residents in need. I’m holding a village-wide donation event at the Community Arts Center (225 McHenry Rd, Buffalo Grove) on Sunday, March 27th from 1-4pm. If you can’t drop off at this time, PCs for People can pick up from you directly at no cost if you have at least 15 computers.

PCs for People is a non-profit that is working with the Connect Illinois Computer Equity Network project to refurbish and distribute these devices. PCs for People employs a number of methods, such as proper data sanitation and a no landfill policy, to ensure the donated computers are put to good use and your company’s information is secure.

If you plan to attend my event at the Community Arts Center, please RSVP here.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jacob Edley
