CafeteriaCulture.org is a non-profit environmental education organization that works creatively with youth to achieve equitable zero waste, climate-smart school communities, and a plastic free biosphere. Our youth programs merge citizen science and civic action with media production and the arts. Students in our programs, overwhelmingly from lower income communities of color, provide an urgently-needed voice to the environmental movement by taking on leadership and advocacy roles and bridging the interconnected issues of waste, environmental justice and the climate crisis.
