The Great Lakes Environmental Festival is a totally volunteer organization. There are no paid employees. So we depend on individuals who are willing to assist in pushing the environment to the top of everyone's mind. Degradation of the environment affects us all. It determines every aspect of our health and well-being. Please consider taking a few hours out of your busy lives to make the Festival a success.
