The Rotary Club of Summit County curated 500 pounds of recyclable plastics to create a bench at Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church. With the help of kids from Camp Compassion, the bench was commemorated Wednesday, Aug. 10.
Campers with Camp Compassion learned about how sea turtles can mistake single-use plastic bags for jellyfish and how little plastic weighs, Julie Wright with Lord of the Mountains said.
