Recap on our visit to @wildtrilliumfarm ๐ผ
Being #zerowaste is a goal and not always an achievement. We're always working with vendors to look for ways to have closed loop systems. But sometimes there is waste. Sometimes there are spills. In this instance, food spills have inspired co-owner Mia to feed critters in her yard and elsewhere. It has created new relationships with nature. The more we invest in #nature emotionally, the more compelled we'll be to save it.

Hi All, we're pausing @ecoship_chicago donations until we can get all of this over to storage. #5 plastics collection will resume one Sunday a month starting on May 5th in the @efsustainabilitycenter next door. We love you for trying to save the environment, and we hope you love us for trying to help you do that, but we are a tad buried. Thanks for understanding.
Join us at the Eco Farm Stand today to celebrate Earth Day with some awesome vendors! Weโre here til 4pm! ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฆฉ๐
