Whole Foods

Jonah and I got a tour of the Whole Foods store downtown on Murray St.  She gave us a an intro on how Whole Foods is green, and the products that promote sustainability in Whole Foods.         For example a lot of their fruit is from local places such as places in Upstate New York or even more local.  The sustainable advantage in that situation is your aren’t wasting money and importing produce from places further away and you help the environment because you eliminate the actual process of importing produce. They also were saying that their beer is not name brand but also locally brewed beer, which also eliminates the process of transport.  She also showed us some of their kitchenware such as bowls and plates were made out of recycled materials and also a lot of them were made out of bamboo.  Unfortunately we could not see behind the scenes in the back because of insurance polocies but otherwise she well educated our knowledge in Whole Foods and their vast variety of green porducts.
