Positive Solutions for a Better, More Sustainable Midwest

Midwest Sustainability Group advocates for sensible transportation, zero waste communities, and the protection of Lake County’s vital open spaces and wetlands.

Urgent Action: Stop the Illinois Route 120 Bypass

IDOT is evaluating a multi-billion dollar bypass that would destroy sensitive Lake County wetlands and induce urban sprawl. We are fighting for a smarter alternative: Fix Route 120 in place to deliver faster, cheaper traffic relief while saving open space.

Sustainable Transportation

Advocating for modern, multi-modal transportation in Lake County. Improving existing roadways, expanding transit options, and creating safe pedestrian & bicycle infrastructure.

Zero Waste & Conservation

Leading the shift toward a circular economy. Empowering communities to divert waste, eliminate incinerator threats, and protect local air & water quality.

Green Corridor Preservation

Protecting 1,100+ acres of open space in the former Route 53 corridor and transforming preserved land into public state parks and wildlife greenways.
