The Clean-Off Challenge
Date: October 1 - 31
Location: Within the city limits of Chicago, Philly, and Los Angeles
Description: The October Clean-Off is BACK, and now it will be Chicago vs Philly AND Los Angeles! We're going head to head to see which city can collect the most litter in the month of October, and hoping to fly the W for the second year in a row. Participate by joining a group cleanup, creating your own, or going solo. Top litter pickers on the Chicago side will be eligible for prizes. : )

Fall Plant-Based Baking Class
When: Thursday, November 5th, 6 - 8 PM

Description: We will be talking about the significance of switching to a plant-based diet, and the environmental impact of animal products. We will make VEGAN apple cider cookies and pumpkin mini muffins from scratch!
Registration: HERE
SEC Pumpkin Smash
When: Saturday, November 7th, 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM
Where: New Life Church, East Humboldt Park
Host: Sustainable Events Collective
Description: Rather than throwing away your pumpkins at the end of Halloween, join SEC’s pumpkin-smashing party (because those jack-o'-lanterns deserve a better fate than the landfill)! They provide you with all the gear to smash up your gourds and squash, and they’ll compost it at the very end for you too. Their Pumpkin Smash is fun for the whole family with a DJ, warm drinks, and a photographer to remember the day! Chicago Environmentalists and Cleanup Club will be tabling at this event. :)
