With a strong focus on sustainability at their events, they face the challenge of managing single-use plastic waste, particularly during their bi-monthly public cleanups.

THE CHALLENGE
LA Recovery Connect (LARC) is dedicated to supporting individuals recovering from alcohol and substance use in Los Angeles by providing housing and essential services. As part of their mission to create a positive environment, LARC also seeks to reduce its environmental footprint. Recently, they upgraded to a tankless water heater and are working to reduce plastic waste by pursuing a water filtration system for their residents.
