President’s Service Blog: Protecting our Environment

Today I want to thank you for your active participation in the many successes that have come from our first three Global Service Action Campaigns. Together we’ve shined a light on youth, on sight and on hunger. Now it’s time to shine a light on the environment.

Each of you will have a different opportunity to address the environmental needs in your own community. For some, it will be a simple task of road-side clean up or planting trees or some beautification. Others may be able to address larger issues of sanitation, the need for fresh water or a recycling project.

We all have to assume the responsibility for creating a healthier planet. So whatever the project, let’s make sure that we give it our very best effort in addressing the needs to protect our environment. As you’ve done in the past, be sure to submit your Activity Reports. For all your efforts I thank you for caring and for truly being a beacon of hope.
