2 WAYS TO BE GREEN THIS MONTH

 

  • To celebrate National Nutrition Month, try out a plant forward diet, eating smaller portions of meat and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your meals. Eating more plant based foods is good for both the environment and your health!
  • This month get a sticker and download the Fill It Forward App to participate in the Cupanion Program. Be on the lookout at bottle refill stations and for pop up events around Grounds to grab one!
