Something Sweet and 'ECO-Friendly'

This week marks the annual observance of the Earth Hour (March 31, 8:30pm - visit their website here) and what better way to show my support than by featuring some of my favorite products who have been advocates of the environment as well.  And yes, they are nothing short of being fancy and delightfully tasting as well.

There are quite a number of businesses who have gone 'GREEN' and with majority of consumers now looking into socially responsible organizations to get their products or engage with, the quest to find innovative and high impact Eco-friendly and sustainable business actions have become a staple.

Yesterday's sweet cravings brought me to my favorite popcorn stand and it so happened that my 'other' favorite donut shop was also right next to the popcorn kiosk.  It was then that the idea for a blogpost came....  The people from Chef Tony's Gourmet Popcorns handed me out my purchase in a fancy brown bag.  Since I am a frequent customer, I asked the sales people how come they do not have their famous plastic bags anymore.  The lady immediately answered me, 'Ah, you want plastic sir, don't worry we can replace it if you want.'  I gave her my hearty smile and said it's ok, I prefer their new paper bags and IT IS ACTUALLY BETTER.  I was told that every week-ends, Chef Tony's use their brown bags for every purchase.  Hope they push this a little more and increase the number of days they go 'Green'.  Below are snap shots of my latest purchase.

Now, the ever famous donuts!!!! Yes, I think this merits a lot of exclamation points primarily because fancy donuts have been around and it has become (in my opinion) difficult to find a really good one that is worth the price.  So, lo and behold, I summoned my inner strength and got myself a dozen (thanks to the ever delightful sales talk which convinced me to 'upgrade' from a box of 6 to a dozen) of the most deliciously looking sweet treats.  


I was given an added treat upon finding out that ALL of their packaging options are made of carton and they bear the 'recycling' seal.  I am one with the growing number of yuppies out there who makes it a point that they engage with businesses who are Eco-warriors, especially those that do SUSTAINABLE business.  Below are some shots I made from my recent purchase!
