Leos, for example, have conducted a literacy program in developing areas of the world, and Lions-Quest is admired for its quality action in fighting substance abuse. Lately, we have also chartered a number of Lions clubs in universities. Our mission to promote a clean and healthy environment is paramount. Lions simply must recognize how critical it is to protect future generations from environmental damages caused by our industrial and social development. Very often, people believe that environmental projects would be too extensive and technical, and thus not affordable for Lions.
Lions can participate in a wide range of such activities.
Cleaning beaches and roadsides or paths in a forest can be initiated and Lions can spread information on environmental problems faced by society. Collecting old material on public streets, cleaning fountains in some cities or establishing environmental parks are projects of a larger magnitude. A similar project could benefit the Gulf of Mexico. Fellow Lions, with time and untiring effort, we will achieve our goals, we will answer the multitude of challenges facing us. In all areas in which we become involved, Quality services must be our uncompromising standard.
