TIP OF THE MONTH
Give Experiences, Not Excess!

This holiday season, choose shared experiences or sustainable gifts over clutter—creating memories while reducing waste and caring for the planet.

 

December Highlights

December Clean Up & Green Ambassador Workshop

From Ideas to Action: OEOC hosted the Green Economy Ambassador Workshop, where experts John McCaskill and Philip Samson explored low-carbon growth, sustainable cities, green finance, and environmental justice, with support from the City of McKinney.

Plant the Future

This holiday season, OEOC’s Plant the Future campaign encouraged families to give the gift of trees by supporting our My Forest Fund. Every contribution helped expand the local tree canopy and inspired kids to grow something that lasts.

Coffee with Mother Earth

Coffee with Mother Earth: Sip, support, and plant—trade your coffee for a tree to help cool, hydrate, and grow a greener planet.

Environmental Volunteerism

Curious about volunteering for the environment? Learn how to get involved in activities like waste reduction, recycling, composting, sustainable gardening, and organizing educational events or fundraisers to promote climate action in your community.

Gifting With Purpose

Celebrate milestones sustainably by giving plants, succulents, or seed kits as living return gifts—purchased through the OEOC store, proceeds support tree planting and habitat restoration.
