Agenda Items for CARE’s September 2025 Meeting

  • Open Discussion

    PRESERVE, IMPROVE, REVITALIZE

    Environmental activism works by people sharing their skills, knowledge, and concerns with others. Involvement of ordinary citizens is what gets things done, not waiting for federal or state governments to step up first.

  • Lincoln Stone Quarry

    GET THE LATEST UPDATES

    CARE is part of a litigation filed by Earthjustice requesting the complete removal of toxic coal ash from Lincoln Stone Quarry’s (LSQ) fractured bedrock to a licensed hazardous waste storage site. NRG, the current owner of Lincoln Stone Quarry, is advocating instead for a cap and leave-in-place method.

  • PFAS

    EVERYWHERE AND FOREVER

    Get the latest on the progress of new regulations, what consumers should be aware of, and how CARE is addressing the issue of PFAS in a county with a long history of heavy industry and reliance on groundwater-fed wells.

  • Will County Bag Fee

    SHARE YOUR OPINION

    Many studies have shown that a mandatory fee on single-use bags issued at checkout significantly reduces the number used. This in turn reduces environmental impacts on communities.

    CARE supports a fee, or even a ban, on single-use bags. Download a description of a proposed plan here.
