AEG Leads Plastic Free July with Citywide Cleanups and Green Initiatives
This July, AEG’s People for the Planet Business Resource Group (BRG) transformed their dedication to sustainability into meaningful action by hosting a series of community-focused events in celebration of Plastic Free July. Spanning four cities, these initiatives emphasized a powerful message: making a difference begins with showing up.
In Cleveland, the month began with the second annual River Cleanup at Jacob’s Pavilion. AEG team members volunteered along the banks of the Cuyahoga River, equipped with gloves and trash grabbers, united by a mission to safeguard their local ecosystem. As they moved through the boardwalk and adjacent park areas, they collected plastic waste and other litter endangering the river’s health. The event wasn’t just about cleaning—it was a moment to reconnect with nature and motivate others to take part.
In Los Angeles, attention shifted from plastic waste to urban greenery. Partnering with TreePeople, volunteers gathered at Huntington Park to care for newly planted trees. Tasks included removing invasive plants, watering, mulching, and adjusting support structures. This hands-on experience served as a reminder that climate action often begins with small, local efforts - like nurturing the trees in one’s own neighborhood.
Later in the month, the initiative will head to Denver, where People for the Planet will collaborate with Keep Denver Beautiful to clean up the area around the Mission Ballroom and nearby AEG Presents and AXS offices. Volunteers will come together to clear trash from sidewalks, parking areas, and surrounding green spaces.
The final stop will be Detroit, where the group will participate in the 3rd Annual Cass Park Cleanup with Conscious City Cleanup. With music energizing the atmosphere, volunteers will pick up litter while walking through the historic neighborhood, combining environmental stewardship with community spirit.
Across all four cities, the results are clear: bags of waste are being cleared from public spaces, urban trees are receiving vital care, and conversations around sustainability are being sparked. More importantly, a shared sense of purpose is growing.
Plastic Free July is more than just an awareness campaign—it’s an opportunity to connect, learn, and take action. Through these efforts, AEG’s People for the Planet BRG shows that meaningful environmental progress doesn’t always require large-scale efforts. Real change begins with individuals coming together, getting involved, and doing the work.
