Congratulations to the Whitehaven Kroger team on its Grand Re-Opening! 🎉

Clean Memphis was honored to be recognized as a community partner during today's celebration and are grateful for Kroger's continued investment in creating a healthier, more sustainable Memphis.

As part of the event, Kroger presented a $5,000 check in support of the annual Project Green Fork Reharvest event! Thank you to Kroger for your partnership and for championing initiatives that make a lasting impact.

Together, we're building a more sustainable future for Memphis. 💚♻️

School may be out for the summer, but environmental learning doesn't stop when the final bell rings. 🌱☀️

Clean Memphis' education team gives students the knowledge and tools they need to make a difference at school, at home, and in their communities. From reducing food waste and recycling correctly to protecting local ecosystems, the lessons students learn today can become lifelong habits tomorrow.

Summer in Memphis means one thing: stay hydrated. ☀️💧 This summer's must-have accessory? A reusable water bottle. 🌎♻️

One of the easiest ways to reduce waste and save money is to carry a reusable water bottle wherever you go. By refilling instead of reaching for single-use plastic bottles, you're making a simple choice that's better for both you and the environment.

What happens when students are empowered to reduce food waste? Real results. ♻️

Join us on July 16 for a special professional development event highlighting the success of the Food Waste Warriors initiative and the growing movement to reduce cafeteria waste across Memphis-Shelby County Schools - MSCS.

Hear directly from school leaders, Memphis-Shelby County Schools Nutrition Services, Clean Memphis educators, and representatives from WWF as we share lessons learned, measurable outcomes, and what's next for school-based sustainability efforts.

Whether you're an educator, administrator, school support staff member, or community partner, you'll leave with practical ideas, proven strategies, and inspiration to help students become environmental leaders in their own schools.

Together, we're turning cafeterias into classrooms and creating lasting change one student at a time. To register: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YcBteClKMV-5jtTmgiHVcXF8KpOAzGCB97efIQ46eMc/viewform?edit_requested=true

Our refreshed site will better reflect Clean Memphis’ visual brand while making it easier to explore our programs, community impact, educational initiatives, and sustainability resources. From neighborhood beautification to food waste reduction and environmental education, this space will more clearly showcase the work happening across Memphis every day. Stay tuned!
