The Taste of Green – Eat, Drink, and Support Sustainability!

The Green Dining Alliance and St. Louis Earth Day are putting on our third annual Taste of Green fundraiser October 25th from 6pm-8pm at Willow in downtown St. Louis!

The Taste of Green will feature 15 Green Dining Alliance Certified restaurants and breweries, providing samples of their finest food and beer – all served in compostable or recyclable containers with compostable cutlery.

Our wonderful Recycling On the Go team will be making sure our event is Zero Waste, composting and recycling all materials at their famous Waste Stations. Any leftover food will be donated to  Anointed Hands Ministries’ food pantry, making sure no delicious food goes to waste!

   

The Taste of Green includes fun activities like the Fish Eye Fun photo booth and a silent auction filled with unique items and experiences. DJs Makeda Kravitz and Orlandez (of KDHX fame) will be spinning old school jams and modern grooves to light up the dance floor.

The GDA's favorite DJs are returning to the Taste of Green!
