Lakeshore Towing Given Community Pride Award for Environmental Stewardship
(YourErie.com) Local business owners on Erie’s bayfront were being recognized for their environmental stewardship.
These litter control booms help keep trash and debris from the city out of the main portions of Presque Isle Bay.
“It’s very difficult to get litter out of the water. It’s much easier to keep the litter from going in and using these booms to contain the litter,” Teresa said.
“There’s a lot of things we do besides trying to support our business. We like to support the environment and the tourism because it all ties in together,” Eric said.
State Representative Pat Harkins, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, and the Erie Port Authority surprised Lakeshore Towing with the award.
