Earth Month Isn't Over Yet! Ways You Can Still Participate in Burlington
As a locally owned grocery cooperative, we strive to make an impact through a variety of ongoing environmental initiatives. Though we believe our Planet Earth deserves love year-round, we’re embracing April as Earth Month to give Earth Day and Earth Week an extra boost. Here’s how you can still celebrate Earth Month in Burlington, Vermont!
Attend a vibrant event.
This weekend Burlington is hosting Earth Day on the Marketplace right by our Downtown store. Enjoy activities, food, and music and meet environmental organizations, including some of our eco-friendly partners like CarShare Vermont, Intervale Center and Old Spokes Home, at this celebration of the community’s work to help protect our planet. This event is part of Burlington’s City Nature Celebration, a week of outdoor events such as the Spectacular Nature Day at the Intervale organized by Burlington Wildways (which is also looking for volunteers which can count toward Member Work Credit). Also stop by the Skida Showroom for their Spring Fling Warehouse Sale!
Shop local, make an impact.
When you shop at City Market, you’re supporting our mission to support local producers and strengthen our local food system and economy. Not to mention environmental sustainability is embedded in our culture. From waste management initiatives to addressing our climate impact through energy efficiency changes, you’re making a difference just by shopping here!
And if you haven't already, there's still time to enter to win an electric cargo bike (and other sweet giveaways) by April 30! What better way to reduce your carbon footprint traveling to your favorite City Market store—and beyond! Be sure to tell your friends about this awesome opportunity!
Earth Month and beyond.
Didn’t win our e-bike giveaway? Luckily there are options! Pick one up at Skirack’s annual bike swap May 3-4 (or consider selling an old bike at the swap!) Or grab a friend and participate in Vermont’s annual Green-Up day May 3 and festivities taking place around it, like Switchback Brewery’s GreenUp Throwdown celebration near our South End store.
However you celebrate Earth Month, we appreciate you including the Co-op in your efforts.
