Dee co-founded Plastic Free Delaware in 2010 as BringYourOwnBag Delaware to address single-use plastic bag pollution.  This was when her young children were involved in a chapter of Jane Goodall's Roots &  Shoots program and looking for a quick little project to undertake.  She continues to Chair the organization and lead its initiatives which have expanded into single-use plastic pollution and zero waste aspirations.

Brigid is the Program Director for the Delaware Community Composting Initiative for Plastic Free Delaware where she works to reduce food waste going to DE landfills. She has more than ten years of experience implementing sustainability programs for higher education, nonprofit, and corporate institutions. She is passionate about educating people to be mindful consumers and developing a community where it is second nature to be one.  

 Elisa is a lifelong Delawarean with a passion for environmental stewardship and food system resiliency. For the last decade, Elisa has worked with various Delaware based organizations and started her own consulting business promoting sustainable and urban agriculture initiatives.
