Community Education
ALX Dog Walk is dedicated to promoting plastic-free and sustainable living through community education events. Our goal is to provide people of all ages with the knowledge and skills they need to make eco-friendly choices. We believe in the power of interaction and hands-on experiences, which is why we offer a variety of activities such as classes, workshops, and interactive demonstrations.
Through our community education events, we aim to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their consumption habits and adopt sustainable alternatives. By spreading awareness and knowledge, we believe we can create a positive impact on the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future for all.
Inspiring Youth
Schools & Community Groups
The Dunbar Alexandria-Olympic Boys & Girls Club enjoyed art education that integrated information about the plastic pollution crisis and sustainability into art projects.
To celebrate Earth Month, the group of 8-10 year-olds created a 30′ snake of single use plastic bottles, mosaics of plastic, a plastic dog (below!), and more.
All creations were displayed at the Kate Waller Barrett Branch Library in Alexandria.
Community Exhibits
By hosting tables at events, we create a space where individuals can engage with leaders in the field and have their questions answered.
This direct interaction allows for meaningful conversations and encourages participants to explore different approaches to plastic-free living.
We also showcase a range of sustainable living tools and techniques, providing practical examples of how to incorporate these practices into daily life.

Educational Tool
Plastic-Free Event Table Toolkit
The event planning and conference industry is a booming sector, generating billions of dollars in revenue each year. However, it is not without its environmental challenges, particularly the excessive use and waste of plastic.
In an effort to address this issue, our team has developed a revolutionary plastic-free event planning tool-kit that aims to assist organizations in creating eco-friendly and sustainable event setups.
The tool-kit offers a comprehensive range of resources and strategies to help event planners minimize the use of plastic and adopt more sustainable alternatives. From table settings to decorations, every aspect is carefully considered to ensure a greener approach.
By providing practical guidance and innovative ideas, organizations can make a significant impact in reducing their plastic footprint.
