We are INCREDIBLY grateful for the success of the St. Louis Food Waste Challenge and the amazing turnout at our celebration! To our entire team, it was inspiring to see so many of you show up eager to learn about our campaign. Thank you for being part of our movement!

We are also very proud of the 8 participating restaurants that made great efforts to reduce their food waste and even developed a lasting culture among their staff to continue to do so every day.

Read about our citywide impact in this dedicated report including testimonials from each restaurant, root-to-stem recipes used, new policies implemented, and photos from our audits!

Reminder that we're already accepting vendors and sponsors for the 2024 St. Louis Earth Day Festival! We are especially looking to feature local vegan restaurants.

Vendors, make sure to apply before the end of this year for a 10% Early Bird Discount!

If you appreciate the impact of earthday365 programs like the St. Louis Earth Day Festival, which educates more than 18,000 attendees each year, the Green Dining Alliance, which has 80+ members certified for sustainability, Recycling On the Go, which diverted waste from 49 events in 2023, and many more, please support their continuation with a donation this season!

We are currently aiming to raise $1000 for educational materials for our Climate Action Zone at the Festival, which will teach thousands about the harms of climate change.

Thank you for investing in a greener St. Louis!
