Right now, we are leading our ARTS+ACTION Cafeterira Waste Reduction program at PS 221 in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, training K-5th graders to be the Cafeteria Rangers. These student stewards oversee all cafeteria recycling and composting!                                                                                                                                                 

We are also teaching our Make Change Messaging workshop to 5th graders, whic is especially meaningful at PS 221. Due to budget cuts, this school has no art teacher. Students are designing prototypes for new school lunch tray and will soon be constructing giant puppets based on data collected from their own cafeteria!

Our program is not only generating school wide excitement for environmental stewardship, but is also providing students with the opportunity to creatively make change! But, we have only received half the funding for this program. Your tax-deductible donation will have an immediate impact!

With your generous support, we can teach our ARTS+ACTION program at more schools, and complete our multi-media ARTS+ACTION  TOOLKIT to share on-line for all schools to benefit from.

VISION
We envision a plastic free and zero waste future where landfill and incinerator garbage as we know it no longer exists;
where post consumption waste from food to packaging is drastically reduced
and what remains benefits our schools, communities, and the environment.
