Die Trying Collective

Die Trying Collective

Let’s talk sustainability.
You care about the environment—but maybe you’re not sure how to make a real impact. That’s where the Die Trying Collective comes in. We're a group of like-minded individuals committed to changing our community’s sustainability habits. Our approach is simple: start small, act with intention, and scale the impact.

Our flagship project, the Sustainable Utensil Dispenser (SUD), is a sustainably engineered solution designed to reduce single-use plastic waste. SUD makes it easy to access reusable metal utensils while educating users with data-driven facts about the environmental cost of disposables. Paired with our thoughtfully built website, we aim to raise awareness and drive behavior change—from the individual level to the broader community.

We know we can’t undo the damage that’s been done. But we can stop adding to it.
Our goal? To create lasting change—or die trying.
