Alliance for the Great Lakes works to protect the Great Lakes for today and tomorrow. We are active in advocacy, volunteering, education, and research in all 8 Great Lakes states.
In the past year, the Alliance has had approximately 15,000 volunteers who have picked up almost 40,000 pounds of trash from Great Lakes beaches through our Adopt-a-Beach program. While this is impressive, there is still a long way to go. Plastics are not biodegradable, so they will continue to break down into smaller particles, contaminating our water and ecosystem.
This September, JOIN the Alliance and thousands of local volunteers for a clean-up today at your neighborhood beach. It’s easy! All you have to do is:
- Find an Adopt-a-Beach cleanup near you and sign up.
- Show up at the beach.
- Clean up, make friends and have fun!
If you’re interested in becoming MORE INVOLVED, you can become a team leader and host your own clean-up with friends, family or co-workers. This is a great opportunity to keep your community beautiful and engage those around you. We hope to hear from you soon!
