Earth Week 2022 is a wrap! Over the span of five days, we were at a Bingo Fundraiser, our Executive Director was interviewed on live TV, we had a largest cleanup event to date, we assisted at an after school program for their Earth Day activity, and we participated in a partner organization’s cleanup and beautification event. We are definitely in the “Earth Day Every Day” camp…

On April 8th, 2022, Waste-Free Dayton was two years old. We began as a Facebook group, started by our Executive Director Natalie, who desired a community of people who encourage one another and share ideas about how to live waste-free in the Dayton area.

On March 2nd, we celebrated the one year anniversary of our first cleanup event. Last year, Natalie, our founder, got tired of seeing all of the litter up and down Hamilton Avenue, and decided to organize that first cleanup. Since then, Waste-Free Dayton organized twelve cleanup events in the one year period ending this past February.
