Each year Earth Day Staunton recognizes one or more individuals or organizations for their outstanding efforts towards the improvement of our local environment.

Our 2018 organization recipient was recognized for their efforts to create a plastic-free festival event, and raise awareness of the environmental impact of single-use plastic waste at large gatherings. Their festival is a role model for making stewardship of our planet a priority over convenience.
