5 Reasons You Can’t Miss SustainPHL: 20 days Away!

Our committee behind the scenes is hard at work to make the inaugural SustainPHLthe best event possible for all of you fine readers.

So why should you reserve your ticket ASAP? Here are 5 of my favorite reasons.

Top 5 Reasons You Can’t Miss SustainPHL

5. Enjoy a Star-filled night: Hear from presenters entrepreneur Judy Wicks, Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability Director Christine Knapp and United by Blue founder Brian Linton. Mingle with 39 of our area’s brightest sustainable changemakers, the 2016 SustainPHL nominees.

4. Drink a signature cocktail from Philadelphia Distilling, or enjoy a drink from Manatawny Still Works, Dad’s Hat Rye, Weyerbacher, Saint Benjamin Brewing, or Home Brewed Events!

3. Sample local fare for carnivores, vegetarians or vegans from providers including Philly Food Works, Pure Fare, Crust Vegan Bakery, Valley Milkhouse Cheese, Cabot & Vegan Commissary.

2. Munch & Learn: Pick up DIY tips on from composting expert Tyler Weaver. Ask Home Brewed Events about how to brew the PERFECT beer. Find out about recycling odd objects from the Resource Exchange and fermenting foods fromPhickle‘s Amanda Feifer.

1. Party guilt-free! We’ve been careful about all aspects of this event to make it supersustainable. From vendors to recycling and on-site composting (courtesy of CitySprouts/Compost Coop), to a transit-friendly location with Indego spots right in front, to reducing paper, you can enjoy the event without worrying about your carbon footprint.
