We honored our many Green and Healthy Schools and the Climate Literacy Project’s butterflies really stole the show! Many thanks to our generous sponsors for helping make this day possible: Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, DTE, Monroe County Library System, DTE Energy Foundation, La-Z-Boy, The River Raisin Institute, and the Monroe Family YMCA.
Did you know? Did you know the plastic bottle you used for only a few minutes will still be around more than 450 years from now?!? Plastic never really goes away, it just breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces into our environment. With everything you use, always remember it must go somewhere as there is no “away.” This is our only home, let’s keep it clean and take care of it so it will continue to take care of us!
