More than 20 Illinois citizens, cities, and groups honored for their commitment to environmental health and protection in the Land of Lincoln
(CHICAGO) – Today, Lt. Governor Pat Quinn presented the 2006 Environmental Hero Awards to 24 citizens, cities, and groups in recognition of their commitment to environmental health and protection.
“I am proud to honor these environmental heroes and the hard work they have done to protect the health and well-being of people all across the Land of Lincoln,” Quinn said. “These individuals, and the organizations and municipalities they represent, are fine examples of good environmental citizenship, and teach us all that we have the power to make our state a better, cleaner place.”

Clifford also launched “Rods for Kids,” a program that provides fishing rods for children of military families, and also organizes fishing derbies and river cleanups.
