About
We established Root Local in 2020 to inform and inspire Atlantans to have an active role in their community’s environmental and conservation efforts. Since day one, we have worked to guide the collective towards a shared vision for positive environmental impact and sustainability by serving as the metro Atlanta area’s backbone organization for collective impact.
We connected EMMA partner organizations re:loom and GreenBox Homes to collaborate for broader environmental impact. See our Collective Impact story .
Our partnership with World Wildlife Fund continues to produce engaging and educational events, such as Local to Global Solutions for Wasted Food event in 2023 and the Hope, Joy & Butterflies event in 2024.
Dekalb County Landfill visit gave a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at the largest waste facility in Atlanta. Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sustainability Tours are always a favorite. The tour showcases MBS’s commitment to Zero Waste and stands as a model for sustainable building practices in Atlanta.
We look for any opportunity to engage with our EMMA partner organizations , as they are the ones doing the work within the community. Picking Muscadines with Concrete Jungle is a perfect example. In conjunction with their organization, we were a part of picking and packing over 705 pounds of muscadines!
Root Local brings together environmental allies, finds opportunities for collective impact, connects stakeholders, and educates communities to conserve natural resources.
