As you know, Rotary’s project —The Great Lakes Clean-Up – was in conjunction with NGOs to combat the pollution in our Great Lakes — especially plastics. The Great Lakes are incredibly important as the largest source of surface fresh water in North America but also comprises 20% of the World’s surface fresh water.
The current pollution is staggering with approx.10 million kilograms of plastics entering the Great Lakes each year — unbelievable!
As a note, Cobourg keeps their waterfront in great condition and the team was surprised as to how clean the West Beach area was. We were able to help with the clean-up and we all felt a sense of satisfaction at the end of the morning.
