Mission

Consumption Literacy Project is building change. We are collaborating with youth, educators, and communities to discover where we consume resources, and how we produce waste so that we can innovate ways to switch it up.

Background Statement

We are a grassroots group of people committed to manifesting community change and resilience. Everything that we do is a product of our work with youth over years across the front range. We have resourced these beautiful ideas to bring concepts to reality. We started with classroom compost and now we are strong web of gardens, partnerships, and communities building the world we want to live in.
