 | | Environmental Justice Days of Action | | | | Join us in Ferguson again for our next Environmental Justice Day of Action! In partnership with MCU St. Louis, we will continue to tackle illegal dumping in the area, which, like many disinvested neighborhoods, is disproportionately targeted for illegal dumping — and together show that No Neighborhood is Disposable. This time, we’ll meet at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Church (150 N Elizabeth Ave). Gloves and tools will be provided; just bring your passion for helping the community. Volunteers will also enjoy a free meal to thank their efforts! 📅 Saturday, August 23 🕒 9:30am-12:30pm 📍Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (150 N Elizabeth Ave, Ferguson, MO 63135) Sign up to make a difference with us below! | | | | | Thanks for UnDumping With Us! | | | | | | Bikes and Bites: A Success! | | | | Thanks for joining us on our sustainable foodie tour through Webster Groves’ new Green Dining District! We had a delicious afternoon visiting and learning more about Telva at the Ridge, Big Sky Cafe, Beignet All Day, Bijoux, Olive + Oak, Madrina, and Robust Wine Bar — plus enjoying samples from Bagel Union and coupons from Maypop Coffee & Garden Shop. Needless to say, all of these restaurants impressed. And not just with the delicious bites and sips they had to offer, but also all the amazing things they do to put our planet first, such as composting kitchen scraps, using energy-efficient equipment, and sourcing only the best locally grown ingredients for your plate. Read the recap blog below.
