Curtis Casto is a passionate paddler, environmental advocate, and the driving force behind the Onion Bag Litter Prevention Project-a grassroots initiative aimed at reducing litter in waterways through simple, effective solutions. With years of experience exploring rivers and lakes across the Midwest, Curtis has seen firsthand the impact of trash on our natural spaces and has made it his mission to empower paddlers to be part of the solution.

Through onionbag.org, Curtis promotes the use of reusable mesh bags to collect litter during paddling trips, turning casual outings into opportunities for stewardship. His approach is practical, community-driven, and deeply rooted in a love for wild places.

At Canoecopia 2026, Curtis will share how small actions can lead to big change-and how every paddler can help protect the waters they love.
