So long, and thanks for all the fish
So long...
Well, this is the final post for our Great Lakes Earth Day Challenge blog. I hoped I'd have some more statistics to report on how much our participants collected at their e-cycling and unwanted medicine events around the Great Lakes, but the data is coming in gradually and will continue to do so for a few more weeks.
I'd like to leave you with a few places where you can get more information. I hope you'll continue to think about conservation and recycling long after Earth Day is past.
- The Great Lakes Earth Day Challenge web site will remain up and report the challenge results
- Earth 911 has ongoing information about recycling and a blog, too. You can find recycling resources in your area there.
- EPA has info on eCycling and proper disposal of medications
- IL/IN Sea Grant has a whole toolkit about disposing of unwanted medicines
- EPA's ongoing blog "Greenversations" is written by EPA staff
... and thanks
Thank you to the many EPA staff who worked very hard on the Earth Day Challenge, and most importantly to the people all around the Great Lakes who organized events and participated in them. You have made a difference.
