🍃🌍Today is World Environment Day — and the 2026 global theme is Climate Action. At EcoAction Arlington, climate action is at the heart of our mission. From expanding tree canopy and reducing waste to empowering youth leaders and strengthening community resilience, we work every day to create a healthier, more sustainable Arlington.

This year’s theme is a reminder that meaningful climate action happens at every level:
🌳In neighborhoods where residents plant and care for trees
🏫In schools where students learn to lead on sustainability
🧑‍🤝‍🧑In community spaces where volunteers engage neighbors on clean water, composting, and environmental justice
📣In partnerships that bring resources, knowledge, and advocacy together
We’re grateful for the volunteers, partners, and community members who make ths work possible. Your commitment fuels real, local climate solutions. As we look ahead to the summer, we invite you to stay engaged, take action, and help us build a more resilient Arlington for all.
