Green Your St. Patrick’s Day

Many in Philadelphia started celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the Erin Express & various other activities this weekend.  But the official big day is approaching!

We love greening our holidays… especially one of  our favorite days of the year when everyone wears green!

Here’s a few ways to celebrate leprechaun-style & green your St. Patrick’s Day:

• Buy organic & local beer.
• Wear some green, organic threads
• Steal Beth’s vegan St. Pat’s recipes to make a delicious treat
• Ditch the corned beef to cut emissions & enjoy veggie-friendly options
• Plant a tree in honor of PHS’s new campaign to Plant One Million!
• Support & Volunteer for Ireland – Organizaitons like Habitat for Humanity in Ireland or IndexIreland.
