Earth Day Oregon Partnerships

St. Johns Swapnplay is part of Earth Day Oregon 2023 because addressing the pressing challenges we face and creating a sustainable world requires all of us.

🌐 Each EDO nonprofit partner advances 1 or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in Oregon. The 17 goals reinforce each other and offer a framework for global action. The goals we align with are making quality education accessible,  reducing inequalities, and promoting responsible consumption and production.  

Our work to promote responsible consumption and production happens in many ways, and is critical to keeping our neighborhoods, communities, and Earth healthy; by providing a community space for families to share, trade, and pass along gently-used goods, we keep items in circulation for longer, extending their useful lives and improving access to child-related items for families of all income levels; St. Johns Swapnplay is committed to helping healthy families grow on a healthy planet. By promoting “green” choices in our space, we initiate a ripple-effect of sustainability in our community- and together we can make a huge difference! 

The work of our fellow partners, Equal Exchange, The Nature Atelier, iQ Credit Union, and StormBreaker St. Johns, is also helping to further our collective Earth Day action. We all have different missions, teams, and places we call home in Oregon, and this diversity and collaboration is essential to realizing sustainability everywhere!

Join our partners in collective action on April 22nd and all April long! Scroll back through our past posts to learn about our restaurant fundraiser this Tuesday, April 18th, and our neighborhood swapping event on Saturday, April 22nd! 

St. Johns Swapnplay es parte de @earthdayoregon 2023 debido a que atender los apremiantes desafíos que enfrentamos y crear un mundo sustentable, requiere de todos nosotros.

🌐 Cada organización sin fines de lucro avanza 1 o más de las Metas de Desarrollo Sustentable de la ONU en Oregon. Las 17 metas se refuerzan entre sí y ofrecen el marco de trabajo para la acción global. Las principales metas con las que nos alineamos son hacer accesible una educación de calidad, reducir las desigualdades, y promover el consumo y la producción responsables.

Nuestro trabajo para promover el consumo y la producción responsables ocurre de muchas maneras y es fundamental para mantener saludables a nuestros vecindarios, comunidades y la tierra.

Al proporcionar un espacio comunitario para que las familias comparten, intercambian y transmiten bienes usados ​​en buen estado, mantenemos los artículos en circulación por más tiempo, extendiendo su vida útil y mejorando el acceso a artículos relacionados con niños para todas las familias. St. Johns Swapnplay se compromete a ayudar a las familias saludables a crecer en un planeta saludable. Al promover opciones “verdes” en nuestro espacio, iniciamos un efecto dominó de sostenibilidad en nuestra comunidad, ¡y juntos podemos hacer una gran diferencia!

El trabajo de nuestros socios, Equal Exchange, The Nature Atelier, iQ Credit Union, and StormBreaker St. Johns, también está ayudando a promover nuestra acción colectiva del Día de la Tierra. ¡Todos tenemos diferentes misiones, equipos y lugares a los que llamamos hogar en Oregón, y esta diversidad y colaboración son esenciales para lograr la sostenibilidad en todas partes!

¡Únase a los socios de @earthdayoregon en acción colectiva el 22 de abril y todo abril! ¡Mire nuestras publicaciones anteriores para obtener información sobre la recaudación de fondos de nuestro restaurante este martes 18 de abril y nuestro evento de intercambio en el vecindario el sábado 22 de abril!
