What's New with the News?

 
At St. Louis Earth Day, we're all about reducing excess. In this case, it isn't so much about diverting waste from area landfills as it is about helping reduce the clutter in your inbox.

Starting with this issue, you can now catch up on all the latest developments with St. Louis Earth Day, including what's new with the Green Dining Alliance, in one, more convenient monthly email.

We hope you find our updates valuable. Please share your thoughts or questions with us at info@stlouisearthday.org.

As always, thank you for your support of the St. Louis Earth Day mission. 
Calling all VOLUNTEERS!  
Individual and group registration is now open for the the St. Louis Earth Day Festival and the Earth Day Eve Celebration.

New on the GDA Blog
 
It's been reported that up to 40% of our food in America never gets consumed. Instead, much of that waste makes its way to landfills. As it breaks down, food waste produces the greenhouse gas, methane - a significant contributor to global warming.

Here are a few ideas to help you waste less - and maybe even save a few bucks in the process.
 
 
Congratulations to June Ann, our January #EatGreenSTL giveaway winner!
