About us | We teach local volunteers how to collaborate with government and business leaders to achieve significant and lasting improvements. We focus on five impact areas in order to improve local communities: Litter Prevention & Cleanup: Understand who and what is causing litter and mobilize volunteer and government resources to clean it up and prevent future littering behavior. Waste Reduction & Recycling: Reduce reliance on single-use plastic and other non-sustainable products. Promote reuse and repair and effective recycling programs to reduce the volume of trash that ends up in landfills, incinerators, or as litter. Beautification & Community Greening: Beautify public spaces through landscaping projects, tree planting, pollinator-friendly plantings, and other infrastructure improvements. Environmental Justice: Ensure that all citizens' voices are heard and concerns addressed when it comes to the siting of dirty, toxic-polluting facilities such as landfills, incinerators, power plants, and truck depots. Too often, these facilities are located in low-income communities. Environmental Education: Educate people of all ages on ways they can change their behaviors to better protect our environment and inspire the next generation of environmental scientists, advocates, and leaders. |
