Building communities and sustaining our world
As part of our commitment, Rockwell Collins funds Green Communities programs like Project A.W.A.R.E. (A Watershed Awareness River Expedition). The project helps renew waterways and other natural resources. It also brings communities closer through meaningful and rewarding opportunities as stewards of their local environment.
“It’s amazing what you find when you get 300-400 volunteers out in canoes, picking up litter along hundreds of miles of river,” says Darrel Brothersen, senior engineer in Environment, Safety & Health at Rockwell Collins and an annual participant in Project A.W.A.R.E. Over the last eight years, 1,700 volunteers have removed more than 150 tons of garbage, of which 59% has been recycled, from 613 miles of river. “That means tons of hazardous waste, scrap metal, plastic, tires and appliances are no longer polluting our nation’s waterways.”
