Whole Foods & Chipotle SLED fundraisers.

Be the Change…
By now we all know that Earth Day is not just a twenty-four hour celebration, once a year–it’s every day that we make an effort to live more lightly on the Earth. You can help our year-round effort through these upcoming fundraisers:

…One Dime at a Time

St. Louis Earth Day was selected as Whole Food Market’s “Donate Your Dime” charity for April, May & June! Whole Foods customers are encouraged to use their own shopping bags, then donate the $.10 refund to benefit St. Louis Earth Day.

Friday, May 13 and June 10, 12noon to 3pm at the Whole Foods Market on South Brentwood Boulevard. Come learn everything you ever wanted to know about recycling and composting in the home and when you are on-the-go! St. Louis Earth Day’s Recycling on the Go program specializes in helping events go green through recycling, composting, and other resource-saving measures. Look for Recycling on the Go’s blue bins at area events this summer! Planning an event of your own? Learn about the new Do-It-Yourself Event Recycling Program in which organizations and individuals can use the bins for recycling at their events!

Donate Your Dime, instituted at the Plantation Whole Foods Market on April 12, 2010, is a program designed to encourage customers to reuse their shopping bags. When you use your own shopping bags, you have the chance to donate! Each quarter, one local charity is chosen to be one of the beneficiaries opposite the Whole Planet Foundation, which is always included as an option.

…One Responsibly Raised Burrito at a Time
Treat your friends and family Monday, April 18th (the evening after the St. Louis Earth Day Festival) to a meal at any St. Louis-area Chipotle Mexican Grill between 4–8pm and 50% of the proceeds will benefit St. Louis Earth Day. Just tell the staff that you are there for the fundraiser to make your meal count!

**This event has passed – thanks to all those who ventured out to their area Chipotle Grill in support of Earth Day!
