An Updated earthday365 Mission

"I am thrilled to announce that after a year-long process of Strategic Planning, earthday365 has a newly updated Mission, Vision, and Values statement. There was a strong feeling among Staff and Board members that because some of the most significant environmental problems in our region are located in communities of color, we wanted to use earthday365’s platform within the environmental movement to help address these environmental injustices."

-earthday365's Executive Director, Dr. Jess Watson

MISSION:

To inspire and mobilize a collaborative movement towards an equitable and environmentally sustainable St. Louis region – every day.
