GOING GREEN MATTERS, 2011 was a huge success with more than 800 exhibitors, volunteers and attendees coming together to learn about environmental solutions. People came from more than 17 different communities. We collected more than 28,000 pounds of electronics recycling. Attendees made an "I Can Do That!" pledge to make one or more changes that really make a difference. Together, we are growing a greener community in Wilmette and on the North Shore. Congratulations to the many raffle winners and thanks to all who made it such a great day.
