I am back from Sarasota where I attended the very first ESRAG Projects Fair. It stands for Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group. I met a handful of very interesting Rotarians doing GREAT things for the environment. You can't leave a Rotary conference without doing a service project. This picture is at a Micro Forest where we helped right trees that were leaning after a large storm and cleared paths. It was fun until I was attacked by red ants! Thankfully we were wrapping up as that happened and I caught the ants climbing up my leg before any damage was done.Here is the list of projects presented:
Susquehanna Watershed Project
Cape Cod Watershed Institute
Coastal Ecology Sustainability
Camp Kawartha Environment Centre
Lunch out of Landfills
Ottawa Youth Rotary Forest
Ipswich Watershed Grant
Rotary Environmental Innovators Fund (REIF)
Every Club Climate Friendly
In other news, I gave my Plastics Presentation to the Manchester-Essex Rotary club. They were so engaged and there were lots of great questions and discussions, and freebies! Please be sure to reach out to me to schedule a presentation for your club, it's eye-opening and who doesn't love giveaways?
