Recently, the Church Street Marketplace has taken steps to keep our street "green" and reduce our footprint on the environment. Current initiatives include the new recycling program as well as a Green Street Advisory Committee.

What can you do to keep the street "green"?

• Slow down! - Leave a few minutes early for work or your dinner reservations so you're not speeding to get there. Braking constantly and driving over the speed limit can really reduce your fuel efficiency.*
• Bring some friends - If you have a large party heading down to Church Street, try a carpool and have everyone pitch in for gas. Other options include taking public transportation or riding a bike.
• Reduce, re-use, recycle - Try bringing your own tupperware for transporting leftovers or to-go meals. Be consious of the waste you produce; make an effort to use the recycling bins instead of throwing everything in the garbage.
• Bag it - Bring a re-usable bag when shopping on Church Street. It is more convenient to carry one bag than three! Re-usable bags are available at every supermarket, healthy living store, City Market and around your house!
