At @AlleghenyCW our crew members & volunteers address the very bottom of this cycle, but we have to start changing things wayyy upstream if we are to create lasting improvements to our public & environmental health. That means reduction in plastic production!
#BreakFreeFromPlastic@brkfreeplastic26 Nov 2024
Let's remind #PlasticsTreaty negotiators: the full lifecycle of plastics starts at the point of extraction of raw materials. We want an effective treaty that addresses the root cause of the plastic crisis. #BreakFreeFromPlastic #BeatPlasticPollution #INC5

Come help clean up Spring Hill this Saturday with @AlleghenyCW !
Allegheny CleanWays@AlleghenyCW9 Oct 2024
Join us for our next BIG CLEANUP in Spring Hill! RSVP>>flipcause.com/secure/cause_p… We're returning to a steep dumpsite on the hillside of Gershon St. We last hit this place in May, but plant growth was making it too difficult to spot trash. It's now fall & the trash is reappearing!

Ben Halliburton is our new Water Program Coordinator! He will be leading our riverfront and stream cleanups, as well as the GrateKeepers program. Ben previously worked as our Water Crew Member, so if you've been to any of our water cleanups this year you've probably met him!
