There are many great organizations making a difference for children, their futures, and all life on our planet. Earth Friends is honored to share and nurture collaborations and partnerships with those featured below.
Peppermint Tree’s mission is to be a caring community, working together to provide the highest quality in early care and education in a nurturing home-like setting. We serve not only the child, but the whole family, providing ongoing programming for the whole family, including educational and fun family events, parent workshops and opportunities to create community. Our staff is well-trained and we utilize a research-based curriculum, offering hands-on experiential learning through intentionally planned play experiences, to assure a well-rounded and developmentally appropriate education opportunities. We focus on the development of the whole child, including building social-emotional capacities and skills, as well as teaching children about the world we live in so they learn to love and care for our planet. We provide enriching classroom spaces with a myriad of learning materials right within the children’s reach and children explore our park-like playground and gardens to learn about the natural world, providing engaging environments both indoors and outdoors.
Gaia Scholastic's mission is to cultivate a generation of environmentally-literate global citizens by integrating nature and environmental concepts into the learning experiences of students of all ages and abilities. We build interdisciplinary content in a way that challenges students to make connections: with themselves, with each other, and with nature, across content areas. We train teachers across the country on how to re-shape their curriculum through an environmental lens, coach students on how to turn their climate anxiety into climate action, and foster environmental connection in and out of the classroom.
SubjectToClimate is your connector to free climate resources for all K-12 subjects. We envision a world where everyone feels empowered to take action in solving climate change. To create this future, climate action begins in the classroom. Our work centers around two primary programs: core platform and customized regional hubs. We connect educators to resources, and we collaborate with localized stakeholders to integrate our platform to their needs.
The goal of Sol Refill is to help you bridge the gap between current habits and the new sustainable, healthy ones you aspire to embrace by providing pantry, body, and home doorstop delivery service in Pittsburgh, PA. Founder, Sydney Shoff believes that we need less stuff and more meaning in life and become curious about the zero-waste movement, quickly realizing it’s not easy or accessible in day-to-day reality. Sol Refill believes in a much more accessible low waste lifestyle.
Sydney (of Sol Refill) and Janna (of Earth Friends) write The Imperfect Green Guide blog together.
Jetty Ink specializes in eco-conscious screen printing, and produces “great art, the best apparel & soft prints.” It all started with DIY screen printing to build a brand.
