Welcome to No Waste NOLA!

nowastenolaNO WASTE NOLA has a lot going on this month, so check out the info below and be sure to connect with us!
No Waste NOLA is dedicated to educating the residents of New Orleans regarding the harm caused by plastic pollution and enacting change through local popular support. We need to encourage our elected officials to implement waste-reduction policies, so we can continue to thrive as a recovering city.

Summer Social

Join us at Bayou Beer Garden on September 17 at 6:00 PM for No Waste NOLA’s first ever social! Meet the activists, learn about our cause, and just hang out. We’ll provide information on how to get involved.

Become a member, and snag a No Waste NOLA tote bag and other goodies.   See you there!

 

No Waste NOLA’s Letter to the Editor

Did you see our letter to the editor of the New Orleans Advocate in May? The letter sparked discussion and exposure within our community about the harms caused by single use plastic bags and other pollution.

Have we been in your neighborhood?

No Waste NOLA members have been visiting Neighborhood Associations to garner residents’ support for a single-use plastic bag ban. We’ve been to Fauburg Marigny, Faubourg St. John, Parkview, Mid City Neighborhood Organization, and the Carrolton Riverbend Neighborhood Organization.

Don’t see your neighborhood on the list?

Let us know when your next meeting is, and we’ll send a representative

Get your head out of bed and join the mob at 10 a.m.

And, you’ll still be home in plenty of time for the Saints game!

This Sunday, 5 October, we will meet at

10 am

at the intersection of

Conti and Jeff Davis

to mob from there down Conti toward Carrollton. This area is always littered, but we can’t promise that we’ll find a mattress like usual! Come help us clean up this neglected corner of Mid-City.

We will bring some supplies, including gloves and bags and grabbers, but do feel free to bring your own stuff, too. That is always appreciated. We will mob for an hour, pile everything up, and take some photographic proof of our efforts.

NOLA Trash Mob is on a continuing mission to change the way New Orleans thinks about litter. We hope that by setting a good, visible example we can get others to reconsider throwing garbage on the streets and sidewalks and make our city just a bit more beautiful, if only for a day and in our small way.

If you have any ideas about spots that need mobbed, please reach out and email us, ya hear? Our address is [email protected].
