Sustainable Roanoke: Changing Roanoke from the Ground-up |
Celeste Delgado-Librero is a case study of the change one person can affect in a community.
In 2019, Delgado-Librero started a Facebook group called Sustainable Roanoke hoping others, also overwhelmed by the magnitude of the global climate crisis, desired to learn how to change their own and their community’s wasteful consumption behaviors. Within a year, the group grew to over 1,000 members. The more people stepped up in assisting the grassroots effort to run community events to collect hard-to-recycle items, the more the group was able to recycle, and the more information Sustainable Roanoke shared about our environmental crisis, the more passionate people became.
In 2021, Delgado-Librero and team formalized Sustainable Roanoke, Inc. into a 501(c)3 non-profit. Sustainable Roanoke’s mission is to educate, inspire, and empower the community to become ecologically sustainable for the betterment of the community and the environment.
