At Laroot, our dedication to environmental sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We believe that every action counts when it comes to protecting our planet and securing a better future for generations to come. Our commitment is reflected in our comprehensive approach to sustainability, which encompasses everything from our packaging to our sourcing practices. Here's how we contribute to a greener future:

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Our commitment to sustainability starts with our packaging. We use only eco-friendly materials, ensuring that our impact on the environment is minimal. Our packaging solutions include:

• Reusable Glass Containers and Jars: These are perfect for preserving the freshness of our products while being completely reusable, reducing waste.

• Compostable and Biodegradable Eco Jars: For materials that cannot be housed in glass, we use compostable and biodegradable options that break down naturally, leaving no harmful residues.

Local Sourcing

We prioritize sourcing our food locally from farms and farmers in the NY area. This approach supports the local economy and significantly reduces the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation. By choosing locally-sourced ingredients, we ensure that our food is fresh and that our environmental impact is minimized.

Minimal Food Waste

Food waste is a significant issue, and at Laroot, we are committed to addressing it. We have implemented a strict minimal food waste policy, ensuring that any surplus food is put to good use. Instead of discarding excess food, we donate it to community fridges, helping to feed those in need and reducing waste.

No Shipping Policy

To further reduce our carbon footprint, we have made the conscious decision not to ship our meals. This eliminates the emissions associated with shipping and ensures that our food remains local, fresh, and environmentally friendly.

How You Can Help

We believe that everyone can make a difference when it comes to sustainability. Here are some steps you can take to support the Earth and the environment:

• Reduce: Cut down on your consumption of single-use items like plastic bags, straws, and water bottles. Small changes in your daily habits can lead to significant reductions in waste.

• Reuse: Opt for reusable alternatives whenever possible. Use cloth bags for shopping, refillable water bottles, and containers that can be used multiple times.

• Recycle: Properly sort your waste and recycle items like paper, glass, plastic, and metal according to your local recycling guidelines. Recycling helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and conserves natural resources.

• Advocate: Speak up for sustainability by supporting policies and initiatives that protect the environment. This can include advocating for renewable energy projects, waste reduction programs, and other eco-friendly policies.

• Support: Choose to buy from businesses that prioritize environmental responsibility. Supporting companies like Laroot, which use eco-friendly packaging and source locally, encourages more businesses to adopt sustainable practices.

• Conscious Choices: Make mindful decisions in your daily life, such as conserving energy, reducing water usage, and minimizing food waste. Every small action contributes to a larger impact on the environment.

Together, we can make a significant difference. Let's all commit to making eco-conscious choices and working towards a sustainable future, one step at a time.
