Our Festival is the perfect place to introduce locals to your green business or engage them with your nonprofit's programs. Spread the word!

Sponsor Spotlight: Missouri American Water

Thank you so much to Missouri American Water for becoming a Repurpose Level Sponsor for our 2024 Festival! Their sponsorship allows us to offer World Bird Sanctuary free bird shows twice a day during the Festival. We greatly appreciate the continued support!

Kiss the Ground Screening

 

Save the date! We’re partnering with our friends at A Red Circle to host a free screening of Kiss the Ground, an inspirational and multi-award winning 2020 documentary that explores one of the most promising solutions to climate change: regenerative agriculture.

Join us to watch a group of activists, scientists, farmers, and politicians demonstrate how we can save the planet’s topsoil and reverse environmental damages caused by modern farming, with a panel and refreshments to follow.

Friday, February 23 at 4PM at 1 Cityplace Drive! Register below.

 
 

Staff Departure & Hiring

We are sad to say goodbye to Ben Daugherty, our Green Dining Alliance Program Manager - we are all so grateful for his time with earthday365 and how much he has strengthened the GDA program! We warmly wish him the best in his future endeavors.

He now leaves a great role to fill as we seek a new full-time Green Dining Alliance Program Manager. Are you interested in helping us expand and improve our network of certified local & sustainable restaurants? Apply below! Applications are open until March 6th or until the spot is filled.
