We believe if every person makes an effort to collect at least one piece of trash or "One Piece Each" we can make a serious impact on the quality of our future as a collective society.
Our foundation was inspired by the need for our youth to understand the importance of taking care of the world we live in.
We instill lifelong environmental awareness through the use of a clear and comprehensive curriculum carefully crafted by teachers and researchers all over the world.
Alongside our affiliates educational curriculum, there is a hands-on component where the students can make an immediate impact through local beach cleanup initiatives.
The result of this a conscious and educated future generation who is more aware of the human footprint and the devastation we have caused in the environment.
World Changer Wednesday! 🌎 We want to highlight the individuals that are doing their part to make a change in their local community - thank you @emmybeard_ + @theconservationkid for being supporters of @1pieceeach and sharing your cleanups with us!

View Full Post >>Who loves their left overs and cutting back on food waste + emissions!! 🤞🏼 We can do such an amazing act for the environment by doing something so simple! 1. Buy how much you really think you need, try not to over shop to avoid leaving healthy food to rot! 2. Pack up your left overs! Pasta can be canned up back in the sauce jar, or re use containers you may have gotten from a restaurant! 3. EAT THE LEFT OVERS! A majority of the food we actually save gets left in the fridge unforgotten, making more waste to go in the landfill. Put labels on your leftovers and leave them in the front of your fridge for easy access! We hope this can help you spread the word with your family and friends on how simple it can be for us to do our part! 💛🌎 #1pieceeach #1actatatime #bethechange #individualism #activism #awareness #conservation #protect #earth #eatyourleftovers #foodwaste #saveyourfood #cutbackwaste
