Marlo Dilks Making a Difference 1 SliCE at a Time: #ThisWeekI

What are you doing to inspire change in your community?

This week’s #ThisWeekI column talks to a local business owner whom many readers know for her infamous cheesy pies. (Hint: they were a HUGE hit at the Big Green Party!)

Let’s meet Marlo:

Marlo Dillks - Slice PA
Marlo Dillks, with Slice’s natural/organic soda machine.

Marlo Dilks

Name: Marlo Dilks

Occupation: Accountant, turned business owner

Neighborhood: Born and raised in Girard estate but now a Queen Village resident

Restaurants should make this sustainable shift: Recycle more. It’s easy to do, either by using earth friendly products & containers or recycling oil used for frying.

Favorite food: Although people may assume otherwise, pizza and burgers are not my favorite food. I am more a vegetable person. I prefer a piece of fish grilled and vegetable.

Marlo Dilks #ThisWeekI:

  • Printed out less papers and switched over to online bills.
  • Taught my girls to unplug things like chargers, etc. when they are not in use.
  • I use a refillable coffee mug. Bonus: I finally convinced my mom and husband to do the same (versus using a disposable one).
