Michigan Sustainable Business Forum named Green Living Science the inaugural Community Organization of the Year, recognizing the Detroit-based nonprofit at the 12th Annual Triple Bottom Line Bash at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids.
Green Living Science is helping build a circular economy in Detroit by combining community education, expanded recycling access, and citywide strategies to reduce waste. Since 2014, the organization has helped more than 80,000 households gain access to curbside recycling, empowering residents to keep valuable materials out of landfills.
Today, Green Living Science is pairing access with education to inspire lasting change. Each year, more than 18,000 students and teachers learn about the science of reduce, reuse, and recycle through interactive lessons and hands-on programs designed to build lifelong sustainable habits.
Working with the City of Detroit, Green Living Science has also helped shape the city’s Waste Diversion Strategy, providing a roadmap for stronger reuse, recycling, and composting systems. Through these efforts, the organization is demonstrating how community education and practical solutions can help create a more sustainable future.
From expanding recycling access to educating the next generation and helping guide Detroit’s waste reduction efforts, Green Living Science is making sustainability more accessible across the city and showing what community-driven leadership can accomplish.
