Locally foraged are available (while supplies last) $5.50/oz. You can DM us to reserve! We will be listing them online to order for local pickup (or delivery) soon as well. But just wanted to get the word out 🙂 💚

One very simple way to avoid waste at a restaurant is to bring your own container for packing up any leftovers. You won't have to choose between having the restaurant toss the food or bringing home a single-use container.

Not only that, even compostable bowls aren't so green. They may contain PFAS to render them grease-proof and water-proof. PFAS—forever chemicals—have been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, lower birth weights, reduced response to vaccines, fertility problems and other negative health impacts.

Bring your own jar or container to bring home leftovers without the PFAS.

At exist green, we want our customers to get “just what they need” to sustain themselves, while minimizing their impact on the planet.

By introducing our store to someone new, you can help us spread the word, that living sustainably is possible every day, not just ! 🌎🌱
