HUGE SHOUT OUT TO @feastintheeastwaco for having a #zerowasteevent this year! Not only did this nonprofit feed well over 100 families and supply coats, they managed to figure out how to do it safely and end up with NO WASTE! Everything was recycled and sent to Cobbs Recycling Center! #reducereuserecycle♻️ #zerowasteliving #sustainableevents #feastintheeast2020 (at City of Waco Multi-Purpose Facility) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8-0zgHycf/?igshid=1bri61xl3qnwb

We had the pleasure to honor #greenbusiness of the Month award to @greenhousemarketplacewaco this morning! This location was previously known as Tim’s Greenhouse and was bought in May! If you haven’t had a chance to visit this place since then, come out and see all the pretty upgrades! FUN FACT: They will be hosting a Saturday Market on November 14th with a ton of GREEN vendors! You can also purchase a flat of pansies for $14.99 (a flat has 18 plants...you cannot beat that deal!) They also host a hands-on class every week for China Spring Special Needs students. Give them a round of applause for helping educate and making Waco more beautiful! #dobeautifulthings #keepwacobeautiful #greenhousegardening #sustainability (at Greenhouse Marketplace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOAdO3ngUn/?igshid=hug7klozu3q1

We awards this house, located at 2417 Ethel Street, for Yard of the Month! This historic home was built in 1893 by William Colcord. It has only been in the hands of 3 families and is currently being brought back to life. We encourage this type of beautification aspect throughout our neighborhoods! #yardofthemonth #dobeautifulthings #keepwacobeautiful (at Waco, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkA6jjnbmi/?igshid=r0ow5hmfoqn3
