April 19
...serving up your daily dish.
Whole Foods Montclair, the crunchy Bloomingdale's of food that still wears earth shoes and natural hemp clothing, is sponsoring some of their own "green" events this week. Of course we'd expect nothing less...
Today, April 19th: Whole Foods will donate 5% of the total day's sales to the Greater Newark Conservancy. The Conservancy works to improve the quality of life in New Jersey's urban areas—especially Newark—through environmental education, community gardening, neighborhood beautification, job training opportunities and advocacy for environmental justice. GNC representatives will be at the store.
Also for today: download this flyer and be one of the first 25 customers to spend $100 or more (that's easy) will receive a canvas shopping bag packed with full-size eco-friendly cleaning products.
Tomorrow, April 20, it's Try This Thursday: If you’ve been wondering about Whole Foods' “365 Products,” tomorrow's the day to taste some “healthy” private label items: PB & J on whole wheat bread, sausages, mini quiches, spanikopita, organic greens with assorted salad dressings, chips, salsa and more. Also on Thursday, get a free makeover -- for under your sink! Sun & Earth Cleaning products reps will be at the store from 4-6 pm. The first 50 customers who trade in their conventional products will get full sized replacements of environmentally friendly cleaners, free. 4-7 p.m. 701 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair.
And finally, remember to bring an armload of bags when you shop. They'll take a whopping 10 cents off your bill all month long, for every shopping bag you bring in and re-use...oh well, it's the thought that counts.

"...is sponsoring some of their own "green" events this week."
Does this mean discounts on all green cheese?

With this weeks' TIME magazine, came a
insert w/ the Time magazine logo about
the greening of America & a lengthy
article about Whole Foods.
BTW, We're selling more & more natural foods & products then ever before.
Just the other day, a customer was commenting about how she feeds Science Diet & the huge amount of waste her dog was "leaving"...I pointed out to her that in the Light formula, there was 18.5% fiber, much of it from peanut hulls. That's double to 3 times the fiber compared to other Light foods/formulas.
When you look at the amount of fiber(s) & the percentage it's not a surprise. What goes in, comes out.

I wonder if peanut hull dog poop could set off a reaction in peanut-allergic people?

"Earth Week At Whole Foods"
Today the Earth, tomorrow the Universe. Friday, maybe, a Parking Lot.
