Creating a world without waste with our partners
Country Meadow Elementary
“At Country Meadow Elementary, we’re committed to educating our students about environmental responsibility. Our partnership with Brightmark has been instrumental in teaching the children how to care for our world. Through our innovative recycling program, students are learning about the importance of lifelong environmental habits and being encouraged to incorporate them into their daily routines. By combining education with hands-on experience, we’re empowering our students to become the next generation of environmental changemakers.”
– Laura Hoard, Kindergarten teacher
Downtown Fort Wayne
“Downtown Fort Wayne is proud to be at the forefront of sustainability initiatives in our community. Through partnerships like the one with Brightmark, we’ve implemented innovative programs to reduce waste, promote recycling, and create a more environmentally conscious city through community responsibility. From recycling plastic waste discarded at our events to encouraging our residents to do the same, these efforts are essential for preserving our city’s beauty and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.”
-Frank Howard, Director of Operations, COO
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
“From bayside backwaters to the oceanside coral reefs and Gulfstream, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is at the cultural and economic center of this slice of the world. Strengthening its vibrancy is at the top of our ‘to-do’ list every day, yet we are mindful these efforts can have unintended impacts downstream. Now, thanks to a partnership with Brightmark, plastic waste from our mooring buoy program is no longer destined for a thousand-year decay in landfills. While sanctuary boaters keep our reefs safe by utilizing a network of more than 900 buoys, when material from those moorings is replaced, Brightmark transforms it into circular plastics, which keep our world a little safer.”
-Sarah Fangman, Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science
“We are so thankful for not only the support but hard work and dedication to conservation and education from the Brightmark team. Not only have they helped over 100 students and continue to participate in a MUVE Volunteer Workday by covering supplies, lunch, and transportation, but Brightmark employees join the students during restoration and cleanup events as well. Brightmark is a member of our Frost Science conservation family and we are so happy to continue to collaborate with them.“
-Shannon Jones, Conservation Program Manager
Guy Harvey Foundation
“Since the majority of discarded plastics that the world produces ends up in our waterways or oceans, I don’t think we can talk enough about the extent to which plastics negatively affect the marine environment and its inhabitants. Our planet is in need of environmental solutions, and there are brilliant people doing just that at Brightmark. We’re off to a great start and we love working with Bob and his team. On behalf of the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, I hope that our partnership with Brightmark keeps growing so that we can keep educating, informing, and enlightening more students every year to have a long-term generational impact that will benefit our planet.”
-Dr. Guy Harvey, Guy Harvey Foundation
RecycleForce
“The future for the two things that we do, recycling material and recycling lives, is dramatically going to increase because Brightmark is in my state.”
-Gregg Keesling, President of RecycleForce
