It was in May of 2020 when the Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees and the Rotary

The world is the only home for all of us. The protection and conservation of a healthy
environment for all is our concern. It has an impact on everybody’s lives. We must work
together to help the only home we all have, the World and its Environment.
