Protecting the Environment 

Rotary’s New ESRAG Initiative – will open doors to many new Rotarians. Get familiar with the programs and opportunities. Last week fellow Rotarians Scott Nelson and Andrea Wotan, MPH RDN from Ann Arbor spoke to our club. Here is the link if you missed it:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/6857mkp2573vqb9/Northbrook%20Rotary%20meeting%20June%2022%202021%20through%20presentation.mp4?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR3KNm10MqqpSpuEg6e--FQazs-bKJRY-CCJebh49vXPh3uT8At02MhsX5U#

 

There is a variety of options to participate in, here are just a couple more.

 

ROTARIANS FOR BEES: It started with a David Attenborough program highlighting the decline in bee population and the impact a decline in bees and other pollinators would have on our food production and security, and consequently, our economy.  John McCaskill, Rotary Club of Canterbury in Australia, identified Rotary as a perfect organization to highlight the issue and take it forward.  John engaged an enthusiastic group of Rotarians, beekeepers, and others in a committee under the banner: ‘Rotarians for Bees’ (R4B).

 

ROTARIANS FOR TREES: Rotarians have been involved in Tree Planting initiatives all over the world for decades. Look below for tips, guidelines, and ways to get started.  You may want to contribute to an on-going project, or partner with local or global partners to plant a new seed.
