How we helped

The generous Lush donation funded three schools in the Los Angeles area to participate in the Trash Free Lunch Challenge. 24 schools compete against each other each year to see who can reduce trash the most. Winning schools reduced trash by over 90% and the average reduction is 73%! Students pack lunches that don't generate trash using reusable containers. Thanks to Lush, over 1,800 students learned how to recycle, compost and sort their waste so that they can help our planet manage it's valuable resources, keep our oceans healthy and our skies blue. Thank you Lush!
