American Heritage Dictionary defines ENVIROMENTALIST as "a person who seeks to protect the natural environment, as from air and water pollution, wasteful use of resources, and excessive human encroachments." "a person who believes that environment is more important than heredity in influencing intellectual growth and development."                                          This is what CARE is.

Why Do We Need an Environmental Group?

Text

Will County is a Non Attainment Area. This means that our daily Air Pollution exceeds the standards set by IEPA. Is this why Asthma is so prevalent in our area???

C.A.R.E. (Citizens Against Ruining the Environment) is a 501(c3) Non-Profit Organization, dedicated to maintaining the environmental integrity of not only Lockport & Will County but of  "Mother Earth." C.A.R.E. was formed in January of 1995, as a wood burning incinerator company contemplated building in Lockport. It was evident that Lockport & the Township area needed an environmental group to provide information, and to educate residents. CARE's mission is to research,educate and assist in all areas that may have detrimental effects.
