The Shorewood Conservation Committee will:
The Shorewood Conservation Committee hopes to establish Shorewood as a showcase for organizing a green community. We have a unique population, well-educated, creative, and caring; a perfect mix for environmental leadership!
We plan to work with village governments, schools, businesses, local organizations, environmental groups, and concerned citizens to increase awareness of how our everyday living patterns affect the environment and to suggest ways to minimize the impact. We must learn to live in harmony with nature, and reduce our usage of toxic substances and of fossil fuels to make our footprints enhance rather than diminish the surface we walk on.
Our children will have to live on whatever kind of earth we leave them. When people think in those terms, they are more likely to get involved in finding solutions.
