SEEDS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established to implement local solutions to global issues at the intersection of ecology, education, and design.
Local nonprofits SEEDS and its supporters came together last month as Team EcoSEEDS to participate in the international Drawdown EcoChallenge, taking actions on solutions to climate change. The team placed 30th out of 750 teams worldwide.
“It’s a good job — not stuck behind a desk because that’s boring,” said crew member Chris Stevens. “I get to work in the environment, beautify the environment, give back to it as much as we can because we aren’t here forever. The trees will be here long after we’re gone.”
"The SEEDS program feeds kids dinner. The school believes the nutritious meals do more than fill bellies – but really fuel the minds of their students. 'We need to make sure all our kids are taken care of their baselines, emotionally, physically and if we can do all of that then were able to educate them,' said Forest Area Principal Lisa Magee."
