Summary
During the DuPage County Environmental Committee's public-comment period, community members promoted Aurora Green Fest (May 2), local recycling drives, battery-collection pilots and other sustainability events across DuPage towns.
Two public commenters used the committee's public‑comment period to promote upcoming sustainability events and local programs. Kat Curtis, who said she sits on the Kane DuPage Soil and Water Conservation District committee, invited residents to Aurora Green Fest on May 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Scitech/former post office in Aurora and provided auroragreenfest.com for details. Curtis also noted a Farm Bureau 'touch a tractor' family event in Kane County.
Another commenter, Kaye McKean, described multiple local efforts including green fairs, an Earth‑flag presentation for BioMural in Lombard on Earth Day, a pilot battery collection program with Winfield Township and plans to set up six battery-collection points in Downers Grove. McKean said a recent Darien recycling event collected large volumes of books and other materials and cited school and business partnerships on sustainability challenges and repair/recycling programs.
The comment period followed a presentation on a regional Comprehensive Climate Action Plan; the committee adjourned after public comments.
