Join us in Creating Change! Project Dumpster Dive is an initiative we co-founded in 2016 to educate elementary school students on the impact of wasting food and the importance of environmental sustainability. Nine years ago, as freshmen in high school, we wanted to find a unique and memorable way to spread awareness about these important social issues. This is when Project Dumpster Dive was born. Over a 4 year span, from 2016 to 2020, our team went to 5 elementary schools, digging through, sorting, and recording their lunchtime trash. We wore GoPros to record the sorting process to not only effectively show the extent of lunchtime food being wasted, but also keep the elementary school children engaged and interested. At each of the schools, we would quantify our findings and then lead a memorable and informative assembly for the students on how much food and recyclables they wasted, basic concepts of food insecurity, the importance of reducing waste for the environment, and how their everyday actions can help alleviate these pressing societal issues. Recently, we decided to re-vitalize Project Dumpster Dive by making it a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and creating four chapters around the country. Each chapter is made up of a group of high school students who are eager to bring Project Dumpster Dive to their local communities. As the overarching entity, we want to provide these four high school chapters with all of the necessary equipment and supplies needed to replicate the same high quality, informative presentations that we were able to share when we were in high school many years ago. Our goal is to increase the amount of Project Dumpster Dive chapters - any donation would help alleviate the cost constraint of our mission!   At Project Dumpster Dive, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter world for all.
