Plant Chicago's mission is to cultivate local circular economies. We envision a paradigm shift of production, consumption and waste driven at the local level, generating equity and economic opportunity for all residents. Plant Chicago equips people and businesses with the tools to live more sustainably through community-driven, hands-on programs and innovative research projects. We run a circular economy network for small businesses, farmers market, provide free education programming to schools and community organizations located in our local Chicago neighborhood of Back of the Yards, and are establishing an indoor victory garden project in an old firehouse on the southwest side of Chicago.

Delta Institute

Delta Institute collaborates with communities to solve complex environmental challenges throughout the Midwest. We create and implement solutions to Midwestern environmental, economic, and climate challenges today, so that our home and region are more resilient, equitable, and innovative tomorrow.Delta exists because environmental, economic, and climate issues hit communities—urban and rural—through disinvestment, systemic inequity, and policy decisions. We collaborate at the community level to solve our home region’s new and legacy issues, by focusing on the self-defined goals and needs of our partners. It’s quite likely that you—or someone you know—lives, works, or passes through a community that Delta has helped since our founding in 1998.
