As St. Louis remains devastated from tornado damages, one message is clear: majority Black neighborhoods are receiving the least support to recover.

This is why we partner with local organizations at the heart of these areas to host Environmental Justice Days of Action. The needs of communities most impacted by climate change and environmental injustice are systemically neglected, and it’s up to us to show up, support, and take action.

Please join us for our next 2 Days of Action; together we’ll show that No Neighborhood is Disposable!

1) Illegal dumping clean-up
📅 Saturday, June 7, 1pm-4pm
📍1832 Hogan St
In partnership with New Roots Urban Farm

2) Tornado recovery clean-up
📅 Saturday, June 28, 9am-12pm
📍 Location TBD - mark your calendars!

Volunteers will be rewarded with free food and snacks. Sign up at the button below!

We’ve finally gathered all the numbers, so here is a mini report of our St. Louis Earth Day Festival! 

We were overwhelmed by the amount of support seen from our community. 254 amazing people volunteered to help with the event, over a 50% increase from last year! This is incredible! Thank you so much to everyone who came together to make it a smooth and magical weekend.

Another big win is that we achieved a 96% waste diversion rate. That means 96% of all Festival waste was either composted or properly recycled, with 86% of it being composted! This is thanks to our many waste sorting station volunteers and staff, as well as the 196 amazing vendors who complied with our sustainability standards.

Most importantly…86% of 20,500 people learned something new at the St. Louis Earth Day Festival. That means the conversations, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences truly resonated. Knowledge is the first step toward action, and we’re proud this event planted so many seeds of Climate Hope. 

Here’s to an amazing Festival and to all the incredible people who made it possible — let’s keep the momentum going!

What a great start to event season! 

Our waste diversion crew brought waste sorting stations to Twilight Thursdays at the MO History Museum, Girls On the Run 5K, WashU commencement (congratulations, students!), Bark in the Park (which reached a 95% diversion rate), and of course our UnDumpster Day – diverting over 9,051.5 bs of waste from the landfill.

We’re excited to keep greening events with you this summer!
