GO GREEN NORTHFIELD
VOLUNTEER TODAY
Are you looking for a way to help the environment and your community? Join Go Green Northfield on September 7 (rain date September 14) as they install storm drain medallions throughout town. Storm drain medallions are markers that are adhered to the curb of a storm drain to educate readers not to dump waste down storm drains, as they flow directly to the Middle Fork and Skokie Rivers. Many people are unaware that water from storm drains does not get filtered or treated before being released into these waterways. Dumping of any waste in storm drains is illegal per the Federal Clean Water Act and should be reported to the Village.
Because the project involves working with tools and adhesives, Go Green Northfield requests all volunteers be at least 12 years of age, with 12 and 13 year-old volunteers being accompanied by a responsible adult. There will be two shifts: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM and 2:00-4:00 PM. Both will meet at the coffee shop in Marianos before hitting the streets. Please RSVP to Betsy Kochvar at bkochvar@comcast.net.
Thank you for helping prevent the pollution of our water!
Look for schedule changes due to weather on the Village of Northfield Facebook page.
The adhesive requires temperatures between 40-90 degrees and 2 dry hours. If you are able to bring a metal brush and/or clean paint brush, that would be helpful.
Here's a video of the simple application process:
