The 618 Litter Cleanup and Environmental Action Group - Founded 2022

The Mission of this Group is to connect the communities of Southern Illinois.

Together, we may give ourselves a better future by creating a culture of leadership in environmental responsibility.

Furthermore, it is the goal of the Group to learn the full scope of our litter and environmental problems, allowing the engineering of comprehensive solutions and policies that will create a better environment for all.

Our history of Environmental Injustice must not continue to be perpetuated here. Let us turn our communities into an example for change and progress.

Together, we can create a new culture in Southern Illinois
