About Us

Since 2014, we have led the effort to REDUCE THE IMPACTS OF LITTER ON THE ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY, AND PEOPLE.

Our Mission

A Greener Future is committed to providing opportunities that bring together a community of volunteers and inspire action to create a clean, healthy environment that can be sustained for generations.

Our Vision

Our Vision is a world where people can come together to learn, connect and take action to eliminate waste and preserve the environment.

 Our Values

Respect & Stewardship

We believe we hold a collective responsibility to engage in meaningful environmental stewardship. As such, we foster respect for people and the planet in everything we do.

Community & Inclusivity

We believe that we can achieve the greatest impact by building an inclusive community that brings diverse perspectives and prioritizes collaborative strategic partnerships.

Continual Learning

We recognize that learning is a shared and continual process. We create opportunities for applied learning and the sharing of knowledge to foster collective growth.

Action-Oriented

We continuously adapt our work to meet the needs of our communities and develop programs that inspire positive and long-lasting change.

 Our Work

A Greener Future is an environmental non-profit dedicated to leading the effort in sustaining a clean and healthy environment. By bringing together a community of volunteers and environmental stewards, we facilitate programs that eliminate waste from the environment. As education is at the centre of what we do, we inspire change through a variety of learning opportunities. Our programs raise awareness about plastic pollution in the Great Lakes Region, and detailed data collection sheds a light on the most common items that are found during litter cleanups. Together our impact is wide-reaching, bringing us one step closer to our goal.

Since 2014, A Greener Future has picked up more than 5 million pieces of litter.

2023 Team: Paige MacLellan, Nicole Henderson, Erin Hussul, Maddi Empey-Salisbury, Rochelle Byrne, and Jessica Bernard.
