We have submitted 560  pounds of plastic and met our goal of 500 pounds of plastic!! Our bench will be arrived and we donated it to the Chevy Chase Community Center. Thanks everyone!

The LWV environmental Committee has done round 2  of plastic collection and that bench is going to be donated to The Indiana County Conservation District  when they move into their new building. We are on round 3 so continue to save your plastic. Don’t let it go into the land fill. The bin at the YMCA is outside and can take your plastic there or to the S&T arena . We continue to collect it and send in our amounts to TREX. If you would like us to pick it us we may be able to do that . Contact us at evergreenconservancy@gmail.com.  Thanks to everyone! Stay safe out there!
