Tip of the Day - Join the Great Lakes Earth Day Challenge
Posted on April 1, 2008 by
What are you doing for Earth Day?
If you live near a Great Lake, think about joining the EPA’s Great Lakes 2008 Earth Day Challenge to collect unwanted pills and e-waste.
“U.S. EPA issues this Earth Day Challenge to residents, businesses and community organizations throughout the Great Lakes basin to plan or participate in collection events of e-waste or unwanted medicines during Earth 
Week April 19 – 27. Across the Great Lakes region, communities are stepping up, signing on to the challenge and adding their collection and take-back events to the efforts of thousands. This is a chance to see how much we can accomplish together. The Challenge is to collect a million pounds of e-waste for proper management and a million pills of unwanted medicines for responsible disposal during Earth Week.”

Beautiful photo, Allie! Where is that?
Thank you very much for helping make people aware of the Challenge.
In case you’re interested, we’ve got a blog running April 1 - May 9 to talk about Earth Day, and Challenge-related topics. We hope to report some results of the various collection events.
It’s Lake Michigan. I can’t take credit for the photo though — it came from Wikimedia Commons. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
Thanks so much for the comment and the link to your blog! I’ll check it out!
