In this companion piece to our email newsletter (not a subscriber yet? Subscribe here), I’ll share highlights from Earth Month, and share a glimpse on what we have coming up in May. Also, since our newsletter has been getting flagged as spam by some of our subscribers, we’ve limited the clickable links in the newsletter and instead you’ll find them in this article. The Flying Pig is this weekend, so time is running out to buy Piggest Raffle Ever raffle tickets to support Waste-Free Dayton.

On Earth Day this year, Saturday, April 22nd, we held our third consecutive Earth Day litter cleanup. Like last year, we did more than one cleanup during Earth Week, and we had other events and participated in other activities during the month.

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…

The theme for Earth Day in 2022 is Invest In Our Planet. Actions that we take and decisions we make on a daily basis ultimately have an effect on our planet. We should also be thinking about how our actions and decision affect our neighborhoods and cities.
