On Saturday, September 7, Key Green Solutions attended the 21st annual WMEAC Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup. This effort allows friends, family, and businesses to volunteer their time picking up debris along the Grand River. In addition to having the opportunity to be a sponsor, Key Green Solutions employees were able to speak at the event and join the manual cleanup efforts.

“While the Grand River makes up 13% of the Lake Michigan watershed, it’s still
the largest contributor to the lake’s pollution.” This unfortunate scenario is
why the community has decided to come together and make a change.
This annual event is an opportunity for the community to come together and clean up trash from the Grand River and the surrounding land, helping the community make a commitment to a clean and sustainable future at home. In an interview from Fox 17 Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup kicks off (fox17online.com) , Managing Partner of KGS Mark Huizenga was quoted saying of the event, “People from all over the area come here to say clean water’s important to us, and to be part of a solution.”
The Annual Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup is only one of many events that Key Green Solutions supports, and we look forward to finding more opportunities to not only help other businesses work towards sustainability, but to also show our community that we as a business care and are taking steps personally towards a better future.
