Currents February 2018

Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

GCMFor the third year in a row, PCS will be partnering with the Toledo RoadRunners at the Mercy Health Glass City Marathon to ensure healthy runners and healthy rivers! We are pleased to announce that we have again been asked to be part of the “Green Team” for the marathon. We will be busy recycling all the plastic bottles, heat sheets, cardboard, glass, and overwrap to save our landfills from unnecessary waste and to keep this debris from reaching the rivers. But we need a bigger Green Team to tackle all of the recycling needs. If you are available to volunteer to assist us at our educational outreach tabling event and/or diverting recyclables during the marathon on the weekend of April 20th, please contact us! Last year, PCS was able to recycle 800 pounds of glass, 1800 pounds of cardboard, 40 pounds of plastic overwrap, 50 pounds of plastic cups and bottles, 25 pounds of GU packs (Terracycled), and filled a 20-yard dumpster 2/3 full with compostable material! Help us to show the runners how much Toledo loves recycling!
