And about that pizza dinner...

It's easy to stay true to the plastic-free cause when you can get your dinner delivered hot in a cardboard box! Ask your favorite local pizzeria if they also pack their sides in cardboard. If not, you could make your own salad at home with this recipe from Allison Arevelo of Pasta Friday.

Homage in Martinez sells both baked pizzas and pizza kits. An advantage if you live in their delivery area—most of Walnut Creek, Concord, Lafayette, Benicia, Vallejo, Danville, and Alamo—is that they can sell you a box full of fresh produce that you can use for that salad and meals through the rest of your Earth Day week.

Wash down your pizza with a pils, IPA, or lager in a can from Richmond’s East Brother Beer Co. They ship and also have curbside pickup. Our local craft breweries need your support.
