2025 continued to show us the power of COMMUNITY! 🤝💚

Over the year we connected 1,930+ attendees to sustainable solutions and local organizations across 15 events in Philadelphia and the suburbs. We generated 4.2+ million impressions and 307K engagements on social media, meeting people where they are with practical, local sustainability content.

We also published 150+ articles, spotlighting neighborhood wins, civic action, and everyday climate solutions. And through all of this we featured 82 unique organizations through events, partnerships, and community programming.

Lastly, we are proud to have grown our membership to 107 current members, strengthening our community of individuals and organizations supporting local sustainability journalism.

Here’s to another year of making Philly a little bit greener, together. 🩷
