Creating a Trash Free Earth

Published: Aug. 23, 2016, 4 p.m.

Daisy Martinez founded Trash Free Earth\xa0so her neighborhood park would look better. The idea spread and Trash Free Earth now hosts regular cleanups where a diverse collection of volunteers come together to make \xa0a\xa0park look beautiful.\xa0

Trash Free Earth has created a patch challenge. People who accomplish all five elements of the challenge receive an exclusive patch.\xa0

If a park hosts a cleanup, it will reinforce the idea that the park is responsible for cleaning up. If a community organization organizes and hosts a cleanup, it will spread the idea that the community is responsible for keeping their parks clean.\xa0
