About the job

Earth Day Everyday is an initiative from Friends of Pound Ridge, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Pound Ridge, New York. We aspire to share ways on how to live a low waste lifestyle, not just on Earth Day, but everyday.

We educate residents about 3 ways to compost to significantly reduce their trash, and how to reduce single-use items at our annual Earth Day Everyday Festival consisting of an expo, speakers, food vendors, and family activities, all in an eco-friendly way to celebrate Earth Day.

We created an Earth Day Everyday (EDE) Pop-up for our own Friends of Pound Ridge events throughout the year and to travel to other local Pound Ridge events. Our EDE Pop-up is a low waste solution that includes our Water Refill Station, Staffed Waste Stations, Compost Education Table, and Waste Reduction Consultations to make all of our Friends of Pound Ridge events low waste and to help other local groups and organizations achieve their own low waste events.

Join the community of Pound Ridge and its neighbors to start learning how you can make a positive impact.
