  • Bypass the supermarkets and buy direct from farms and/or their local, small-business DTLA wholesalers

  • Help the environment by preventing food waste

  • Support & sustain our local farmers, small businesses & economy

3.

RE-USE THOSE TOTE BAGS

  • Help eliminate single-use plastic waste filling our landfills & oceans.

  • Non-plastic, reusable bags are more convenient, versatile, take-anywhere & long-lasting.

  • Get creative. Match your personal style. Make grocery shopping #fashion.

  • Support & sustain our local farmers, small businesses & economy

NEED A STYLISH, ALL-PURPOSE TOTE?

I love this organic cotton bag by Terra Thread.

4.

SAY NO TO PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES

FACT

60 billion plastic water bottles end up in landfills & the ocean each year.

Go reusable!

BOTTLES to buy

Stylish BKR glass bottles & stainless-steel Hydro Flasks are my faves.

5.

SAY YES TO REUSABLE STRAWS


FACTs

  • 500 million straws are used & tossed daily.

  • Since plastics don’t decompose or biodegrade they can stay in landfills for hundreds of years.

  • And they float in the ocean as small microplastics that can poison animals & hurt the environment.

MAKE IT FUN. MAKE IT FASHION.

I love these stainless steel, reusable straws in gold.

-Moriah, CMC Events Director

and cheers to conscious cocktails

  • Support sustainably-minded distilleries

  • Use certified-organic spirits

  • Drink a conscious cocktail & be carbon-negative for the day
