At the Nov. 20 city council meeting, four adults, a high school student, one business, and a school received Wheaton s first Sustainability Awards from the city s environmental improvement commission.
For Kay McKeen, finding new homes for used items isn t just diverting waste from landfills, it s a rescue mission. At McKeen s environmental education nonprofit SCARCE in Addison, things many people would toss in the garbage without a second thought are given another chance at a useful future.
Wheaton s Environmental Improvement Commission will be recognizing outstanding individuals and businesses/organizations through its inaugural Wheaton Sustainability Awards.
