Environmental Sustainability Initiatives Are Part Of Rotary

Rotary District 7040’s Environmental Sustainability Committee seeks to help clubs and their members advance Environmental Sustainability Projects and mindsets within our district and beyond.  To support the 7th Area of Focus is not a choice.  All Rotarians are touched by it, even those of us who are involved in projects in areas like Health, Literacy and Community Development. Rotarians need to consider the environmental impact of every single project, be critical in evaluating plans, and go back to the drawing board to ensure the best sustainable outcome for all, in all Areas of Focus.
