One Earth Collective Inspires Action to Preserve Our Planet

Over the past 13 years, One Earth Collective has reached diverse communities with impactful programs centered around environmental sustainability and justice. We educate the public about environmental issues, focusing on the intersection of environmental, racial, and social justice, and inspiring individual and systemic change. Programs include One Earth Youth Voices, One Earth Local, and the One Earth Film Festival, the Midwest’s premier environmental film festival. Through a unique arts-for-social change model, the film festival provides much-needed knowledge and inspiration to audiences locally, nationally, and globally to combat the paralysis felt when confronting climate change. A 2024 audience member shared, “Once again I found my experience seeing beautiful provocative films topped only by the excellent facilitated discussion with film stars and directors and local activists. I love that OEFF blends art, community, ideas to create an inspiring experience, every time!”
