Rotary International is Committed to Protecting our Environment
Projects and programs that protect the environment are now a key priority for Rotary. Rotarians and Rotaractors are tackling environmental issues the way they always do: coming up with projects, using their connections to change policy and planning for the future. Rotarians understand that the whole world is their backyard. See what members are doing now to protect the environment:

The Rotary Foundation is the secret to Rotary's success. Each year the Foundation spends over $450 million on thousands of global projects that address Rotary's 7 Areas of Focus, including the Environment.
Local Rotary clubs work with Rotarians throughout the world to identify opportunities to invest in sustainable projects to protect our environment. Together, they use their knowledge and skills to implement environmental projects that make a lasting impact for the benefit all all.
"Rotary is thinking big. Local clean-up projects will always be needed, but it's large projects in the developing world that get me excited about being a Rotarian. I know my efforts to work with others across the globe can make a lasting impact on our planet."
Michael Pavan
Rotarian
"Now is an important time to be a Rotarian. The financial support of the Rotary Foundation gives us the opportunity to identify and execute major projects that can help mitigate the climate crisis."
James Weber
Rotaractor
"Rotary has been around for over 100 years. It's one of the world's largest service organizations with over 1.2 million members. Its successful because it evolves and focuses on issues that are important to people locally and around the world."
