Preserve
Planet Earth
Recognizing
the need to address the growing environmental
crisis, Rotary International launched its Preserve
Planet Earth focus in 1990. This initiative
underscored the commitment already evident in
a wide range of Rotary club projects. Many clubs
are helping solve environmental problems by
reforesting, establishing animal sanctuaries,
reducing toxic waste, sponsoring educational
activities, and promoting ecological practices.
Preserve
Planet Earth
projects foster concern for the global environment
and sustainable development. Sustainable development
projects promote economic and social progress
that alleviates poverty and preserves the environment
for future generations. Projects are supported
by agencies of the United Nations, governments,
and community organizations such as Rotary International.
