Visit Fulton Market’s annual spring arts walk on Saturday, May 9th from Noon to 5 p.m. Stop into Pivot for treats and special offers and then explore the rest of the neighborhood shops, art galleries and restaurants!

In Pivot’s April newsletter I asked people to share some ideas for Earth Month resolutions. Maybe it’s incorporating one change into your life each month and building from there. Everything adds up and everything counts! Here are a few of the ideas…

1. Use public transportation instead of the car.

2. Bring containers along when going out to restaurants, so that restaurants use fewer disposable containers.

3. Increase commitment to buy locally produced organic food and local businesses by buying majority of food at Green City Market and Green Grocer.

4. Begin vermiculture composting.

5. Planting only edibles on balcony garden.

6. Fresh, local vegetables instead of frozen ones (and freezing those yourself if needed).

7. Stop buying bottled water.

8. Unplugging electronic devices when not in use at home.

9. Try to stop buying & using paper towels – or at least cut down.
