A local business and church making a difference

Anton Cleaners are accepting winter jackets. They clean them and then pass them on to someone that needs it.

This morning on the way to work I stopped at my local Anton Cleaners to drop off an old winter jacket. It was in great shape, but just did not fit me right. No matter how much I like to think I am still a small, I really need to wear a medium these days. So it felt great to know that this slightly used jacket was going to be cleaned and then given to someone who needs it. While there I noticed that they have an eco-clean program. So here is an example of a local business that is thinking about the community and the earth.

We at D2E love to hear about our local organizations pitching in to help the greater community. Sustainable living is about everything – not just “going green”. It’s about people and business and how we all affect one another.

I came across another great local effort from one of our local Unitarian Churches. I grew up a UU and I learned a lot about community with our church.
