We have another Humans of WFD for you, and this month it is Charlie Greene.

Charlie is a local entrepreneur and advocate for native plants, selling plants through his business Tadmor Greenes. He loves Dayton, and you can sometimes find him singing karaoke or presenting some of his artwork around town. Let’s hear what he has to say!

This month, we are excited to feature this husband and wife duo with a passion for coffee and sustainability, passions that all of us here at WFD share as well! We met Michael & Jessica Beans in the spring, and have been to a couple of Namesake Coffee’s popup events, the coffee roastery that they founded in 2016. Let’s learn more about Michael and Jessica..

We’re kicking off the summer months with another edition of Humans of Waste-Free Dayton. Below, you will learn more about a repeat Waste-Free Dayton volunteer, somebody who cares deeply for his community, Matt K.

After a break around the holidays, we resume our series where we feature members of the community who are striving for waste-free lifestyles or are involved in sustainability initiatives in the region. This month’s Humans of Waste-Free Dayton profile is Natalie G., a lifelong resident of Dayton on a journey to educate herself and make intentional changes, and to educate and inspire others.

Waste-Free Dayton was started in April 2020 to be an online community where members could share tips, ask questions, learn and help each other grow on our waste-free journeys. The group, and our community as a whole, has many inspiring individuals, so we are excited to launch this new feature, Humans of Waste-Free Dayton. Our first interview is with Darion, certified nature therapy guide and founder of Gem City Wild.
