Winnetka’s Adopt-A-Beach Clean Up

September 21, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join Go Green Winnetka’s first Adopt-A-Beach Clean Up Event!

Come when you can, stay for as long as you want, and know you’re making a difference no matter what!

Check in with Jeanie when you arrive and she will send you on your way.

Bring your own bucket and gloves.

This event is part of the Alliance for the Great Lakes’ participation in the International Coastal Cleanup. The International Coastal Cleanup is an Ocean Conservancy initiative that began more than 30 years ago, when communities rallied together with the common goal to collect and document the trash littering their coastline. The International Coastal Cleanup now leads and inspires action in support of our oceans around the world.

For some additional and timely context, check out the recent article in the Chicago Tribune linked below that explains some of the issues associated with plastics in the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan.
