Green Action

Our Mission

I Love A Clean San Diego leads and inspires our community to actively conserve and enhance the environment through example, outreach, and local involvement.

Our Vision

A zero waste, litter-free, and environmentally engaged San Diego region.

We take pride in making it as easy as possible to for you to volunteer with us! We offer several volunteer programs: monthly community cleanups, two annual countywide cleanups, and independent volunteer opportunities that you arrange on your own schedule!

We meet monthly at the Eastern Bank community room in Harvard Square, usually on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30pm. These meetings are open to the public and we invite you to attend and share your environmental concerns with us as well as your energy and enthusiasm for addressing them.

The Green Streets Initiative is a Cambridge, MA based organization, founded in 2006. We are dedicated to celebrating and promoting the use of sustainable and active transportation in the Boston region and beyond.

Our mission is to get people to rethink their commutes through our monthly Walk/Ride Days. For most people, commuting is a thoughtless action, just a repetitive extension to their morning routine. Walk/Ride Days were started to combat this gap by encouraging people to become more aware of their transportation options and to increase the dialogue about the alternatives.

Keep Denver Beautiful, a program of Denver’s Solid Waste Management, enhances our city by addressing problems of graffiti and litter through volunteer projects and educational programs.

From major projects such as the Great American Cleanup to furnishing a few trash bags for informal alley cleanups, Keep Denver Beautiful strives to give you the support you want by coordinating the efforts of neighborhood residents, volunteer groups and Solid Waste Management.

Urban Rivers is a Chicago-based nonprofit, looking for donations and volunteers as we create a park on the east side of Goose Island in the Chicago River, along the banks of Whole Foods' Lincoln Park store.

As of June 2017, the park grew to 1,500 square feet, and we are now fundraising for an additional 25,000 square feet that will be installed in 2018.

Our larger goal is a mile-long park by 2020!

Habitat 2030 is a group of volunteers who care about the remarkable natural areas of the Chicago region.

We host habitat restoration workdays, nature hikes and weekend camping trips, social gatherings and educational opportunities.

On workdays, we remove invasive plants, gather and spread seeds, and learn about nature as we go.

Through our work, we link interested newbies to expert mentors to build a community where people of all skill levels can discuss local ecology, conservation and habitat-restoration issues.

Our mission at the Denver Sustainability Food Policy Council is to influence the City of Denver to enact policies that foster food security for all community members and promote a healthy, equitable, and sustainable local food system.

Our current working groups are involved in City of Denver policy reforms to expand access to mobile markets, increase food rescue and composting at city facilities, adopt a healthy, local standard for city food purchases, and more. In short, we look at the food system in our area and then make recommendations on how to improve that food system.

Central Texas Food Bank works with food donors, financial supporters and volunteers to fill unmet needs for healthy food in Central Texas.

FOOD RESCUE
The Food Bank collects millions of pounds of wholesome, nutritious food—food that would otherwise be discarded. Last year, our food rescue efforts kept nearly 19 million pounds of food from ending up in landfills.
