Do you care about climate change, equity, and regional waste reduction? earthday365 works at the nexus of these interconnected issues to help make our regional economy circular instead of disposable. Our signature event is the annual annual St. Louis Earth Day Festival in Forest Park, which is recognized as one of the largest and greenest Earth Day celebrations in the country, thanks to our zero-waste strategies and educational campaigns.

Our Festival, Recycling On the Go and Green Dining Alliance programs touch approximately one million individuals yearly and prevent tons of material from going to the landfill every year. Since 2020, we've collaborated on 20+ successful Environmental Justice Days of Action in partnership with affected communities, in O'Fallon Park, Pine Lawn, Ferguson, Dutchtown South, and more. To date we've collected 22,000 lbs of illegally dumped waste and in the Penrose neighborhood we collected over 4000 lbs of illegally dumped waste in just one morning. We are also spearheading the Too Good To Waste campaign to educate the public about food waste's links to climate change, and how to change habits to make a big difference.

earthday365 collaborates with dozens of local nonprofits such as the US Green Building Council, A Red Circle, Brightside STL, Ujima, One STL, the Earthways Center, and more to help make Earth Day every day.
