As Earth Day approaches, it's a great time to reflect on the daily choices we make that contribute to a larger, global impact. At Alpenrose, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's woven into the fabric of our home delivery service. By focusing on local and seasonal food, minimizing packaging, and optimizing delivery routes, we're not only bringing convenience to your doorstep but also contributing to a healthier planet.
This Earth Day, we invite you to join us in taking these efforts a step further with some easy, impactful ways to incorporate the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle into your routine.
Eating what's in season means you're choosing foods that are ready to be picked and eaten, cutting down on the need for long trips, extra packaging, and keeping foods fresh long enough to ripen and be sold.
Meal prepping embodies the essence of sustainability. By planning and preparing your meals in advance, you can significantly cut down on the need for single-use packaging and minimize food waste.
It's easy to eat fresh, seasonal produce with our Harvest Produce Box. Rotating every few weeks, each box includes a rainbow of fresh fruits and veggies handpicked just for you by our friends at Pacific Coast Fruit Company.
Repurposing food packaging like tins, jars, and milk cartons is a great way to be more sustainable. By upcycling or finding a new purpose for items, you're extending their life and helping to keep them out of landfills longer.
Using egg cartons as seed starters is an eco-friendly way to give your garden a head start. It's an easy, cost-effective way to recycle, while also providing a perfect, biodegradable home for plants to thrive in.
