A Year in Reflection: Thanks to the folks who are the engine behind the Reuse Movement

The community of Solutioneers at Upstream - 16,000 strong and growing - did amazing things this year. Please celebrate with us and enjoy this end-of-year sizzle reel highlighting what we’ve accomplished together.

All of this work would not be possible without the engine behind Upstream and the Reuse Movement: the families, individuals, foundations and businesses that financially support our network-building and catalyzing efforts. We extend our deepest thanks to them.

As a 501C(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on our supporters to enable us to provide open source campaigns, policy, and communication platforms; facilitate national networks; support community coalitions; create opportunities for dialogue across sectors; share the stories of the reuse movement on our podcast, livestreams and blogs/vlogs; host The Reusies, and more.

Please join us in giving a special shout-out to our business sponsors, many of whom came to us via 1% for the Planet, which connects businesses, individuals and nonprofits to protect the planet. 

Creating thriving communities and building the reuse service infrastructure of tomorrow will require innovators, corporate sustainability officers, NGO staff, community and environmental justice leaders and government officials – all working together to transform how we consume. And we are grateful to these partners - and to you! - for helping us do this work. 

We're always on the lookout for reuse-conscious businesses to join us in our mission to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Interested? Contact julie@upstreamsolutions.org
