RIBI Service Report - March 2013

Welcome to the March 2013 Service News, linking you to news, resources and information from all of Rotary GB&I's Service Committees. It is emailed, monthly, to all 35,000+ members whose email addresses are on the RI database. If Club Secretaries are aware of members with an email address, but not on the RI database, please forward to them (and, ideally, add their details to the database). Service News editions are archived on the Rotary GB&I website, in the Updates area.

If you cannot read this email properly (due to your email settings), click on this link and a web page showing the email as intended will open.

We have changed our name! The Rotary GB&I General Council have agreed to us being called the Rotary GB&I Environmental Sustainability Group to better reflect our aims and objectives.

We got 20 entrants for the Rodney Huggins Environment Award. The winners will be announced at the Rotary GB&I Conference. I think this is the most entrants we have ever had, but it is still less than one per district!

A new leaflet on the control of Himalayan Balsam has been produced and is on the Rotary GB&I Environmental web site. Now is the time to start planning what can be done to reduce this very invasive weed.

The closing date for FREE TREES from The Woodland Trust for planting in November is the 13th September 2013, but do get your applications in sooner if you can.

Climate Week was very successful with over 3400 events taking place and over half a million people involved.

Coming to the Rotary GB&I Conference on the 12th to 14th April? Please visit us at the House of Friendship where there will be leaflets and someone to talk about what you and your club can do for the Environment. The Sustainability Trust also expects to be represented.

Terry Knowles, member Environmental Sustainability Group
