When thinking of ways as individuals to green up our daily habits, we also thought about Harvest Market and all the ways in which we are already eco-friendly. We also thought of some more ways to improve our practices and lessen our carbon footprint on the Earth. The following is a list of what we already do, and what we are planning to do in the near future...
Here at Harvest Market, we currently:

• Only buy recycled printer paper
• Frequently use the backs of printed paper for lists, scrap paper and print-outs
• Save the remnants of the credit card rolls for scrap paper
• Only use recycled paper products in our bathrooms, kitchen and on countertops
• Have recycle bins located throughout the store so staff can easily recycle as much paper as possible
• Use washable cotton hand towels instead of paper towels whenever possible
• Use only Earth-friendly cleaning products in the store
• Use less electricity than most stores: Our outside lighting is on timers and we have shorter than average operational hours.
• Use/purchase corn-plastic olive containers and take-away utensils
• Use/buy refurbished shopping carts
  In the near future we will be:
• Replacing lighting fixtures to be more energy efficient
• Adding motion sensors to light bulbs in our bathrooms and stock room
• Installing open cooler covers to reduce energy waste during off hours
• Our Community Outreach Committee is actively working to donate as much food as possible to avoid waste
