I've worked in the environmental field for over 20 years and I've never seen a more effective public involvement campaign than the Earth Keepers. |
Last year the Earth Keepers broke all records for the Great Lakes states by collecting over 45 tons of household hazardous waste in one day. This year we hope to break that record with our electronic waste collection. |
What this nomination does is raise awareness about the issue. Obviously there's a lot of local attention and some statewide attention. This brings it to more of a national level and even an international level when we're talking about the potential impacts on Lake Superior. |
