Like a growing number of Rotary clubs, at least monthly some members meet in a local area for an hour to pick up plastics. So, there is a small patch on the planet with less plastic and wildlife more protected because of us.

About

Corrimal Rotary Club is a vibrant club with a great mix of people who have a passion about our local and international communities. We warmly welcome guests to experience Rotary fellowship and see how individuals can change the world through Rotary’s networks. You will find being a member of Rotary is not only richly satisfying but also personally rewarding and beneficial in many unexpected ways.

Rotary Club of Corrimal meets every Wednesday 6.00 pm for 6.30 pm upstairs at the Fraternity Club in Fairy Meadow.
Rotary promotes the development of relationships that make a difference to business and the community. We provide our members with many opportunities for service and fellowship, with the motto ‘giving has never been this much fun’.
Our members have many opportunities for humanitarian service both locally and internationally. Service programs address such concerns as health care, hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and the environment. We experience the fulfillment that comes from giving back to the community.
With more than 32000 clubs in over 200 countries & geographical areas Rotarians gain an understanding of humanitarian issues through international service projects and exchange programs. One of Rotary’s highest objectives is to build goodwill and peace throughout the world.
Rotarians abide by The Four-Way Test Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Our activities include Twilight Markets, Ride 4 Rotary, Corrimal Rotary Charity Golf Day, Imagination Library and Dream Cricket. Click "What we do" below for all the details.

For sustainability we:

We have a member sustainability representative whose role is to give a brief report, at least monthly, about ours or other Rotary groups sustainability activities.
At least one member of our club/group is a member of the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group and shares their communications. Visit ESRAG
We have a sustainability committee/group that regularly considers activities for the club.
When planning activities we do the 5 point sustainability check to identify areas that may reduce the environmental impact of the activity. The check list

We are celebrating our 60th anniversary by planting a grove of 60 trees native to our areas - swing some carbon and give a little more habitat for the local wildlife
Sure commit to the monthly commitment to ge together an pick up plastics - as well a few of our very committed members meet weekly in different areas. It's become a really fun part of our club and we have have attracted new members.
On our 1st Saturday of the month plastic pick up - when we have a coffee after - we do a collection, just a coin of what ever suits and without buy wooden disposable cutlery for the local home hub to give with meals to the homeless. We guess we are saving as much as 6000 plastic forks from going into the environment each year - easy.

	It’s happening. Our 60 trees and shrubs for sixty years planting is happening on Friday October 23. I am hoping it will be at 4 pm but that is yet to be confirmed by council. Trees take in carbon dioxide and store it in themselves, while producing the oxygen that we breathe. Hence, they are a significant defence against global warming. They filter the air of nasty pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. They control climate by moderating the effects of sun, win

The group cleaned up a lot of rubbish last Thursday near the SES depot. We had good attendance for our 1st of the month clean up at Corrimal Beach last Saturday, although we forgot to get photos of the group. There is no mid-week clean up planned for this week as we might do more bushwalking, depending on weather. The 3rd Saturday of the month clean up is cancelled due to the Bunnings BBQ for the same Saturday. Tomorrow, the CREG team will be doing a bushwalk & cleanup at the Korrongulla Wetlands at Primbee, an annexe of the Wollongong Botanic Garden. Meet at 9am at corner of Nicolle Rd and Govt Rd Primbee. This will be an exploratory hike. Bring hat, sunscreen, water and morning tea. Parking no problem. Sobering, according to CSIRO research, there is up to 14 million tonnes of microplastics on the sea floor – this is up to 35 times more than the estimated amount of plastic pollution on the ocean’s surface. We’ve a bit more work to do!

Julie Simpson THE AIM: Pick up 10 pieces of plastic each time I go out walking and place a dot in the location on the map.

	Rob The Speaker Hey Julie - that is fantastic - but you do not need to go to the trouble of putting a dot on each time. Once is all that is needed. 0 Like - Reply - 11/28/2019 01:23 PM
