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

SHOP LOCAL

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.

-Matthew, CMC Manager of Buyer & Community Relations

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.

-Marisa, CMC Events Manager

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
