Eco-gourmet. It’s what you get when a brother who’s passionate about food teams up with his sister and her husband who are passionate about environmental sustainability.
If you’re in downtown San Francisco during the week, make sure to stop at my favorite lunch place, Mixt Greens, a great place to get an organic eco-gourmet salad.
Not only are their salads super tasty and organic, (i’m in love with their berry nutty) but their business practices are environmentally friendly. Mixt Greens’ two locations (both on Sansome in the financial district) were built following the USGBC’s guidelines for green building. In addition, all of their take-away packaging is made from corn (containers, cups, straws, lids and bags), and they compost 80% of their daily waste. Mixt Greens is also a Certified Bay Area Green Business.
Although mainly geared for take-away, both of Mixt Greens’ locations have a fun well-designed atmosphere to eat inside or outside.
GO MIXT GREENS!! It’s time for a revolution; an organized social movement in the way we purchase. We as consumers have the ability to make a conscious decision about the products we use, wear, decorate and eat with. When given good options, people make good choices; they choose things that are socially just, environmentally sound, and contribute to sustainable development. That’s why we are introducing Project Good, an initiative to build a trusted marketplace filled with products from around the world, each positively impacting the producer’s community, environment and their unique sense of self.
Project Good is a global initiative that makes it easier to purchase wisely. It engages buyers and sellers in socially conscious commerce, and provides them with confidence and trust in both their purchasing experience and the impact it has on people and our planet. Our community of Trust Providers, which are trade associations, certifying organizations, and mission driven organizations that verify the practices of sellers, make this possible. Together, we give you the power to make good decisions by providing information and options.
Our goal is to make people positive purchasing practical and easy; this is something we think you and your readers would love to be a part of. We invite you to visit our website at http://www.projectgood.com and sign-up to receive more information.
