Sustainable Pittsburgh is reminding Western Pennsylvania shoppers of opportunities to Shop Sustainably and to frequent Sustainable Restaurants this holiday season.
This year, the local business districts are getting creative! You can shop small and participate in these fun programs, while supporting your local shops here and throughout the Pittsburgh region:
-- Want to shop online? Check out Handmade Arcade and I Made It! Market's virtual marketplaces.
-- Looking for a gift for the artist in your life? The Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse is now online! They have tons of giftable craft kits for sale as well as a huge selection of creative, nontraditional art and craft materials (not to mention tons of fabric, yarn, and vintage items!) They offer curbside pickup at their store in East Liberty, local delivery, or shipping.
-- The Lawrenceville Cookie Tour is back, but as a rewards card with a grand prize! Pick up a cookie tour rewards card at any of the participating businesses. Earn prizes by purchasing items from your favorite Lawrenceville businesses. Learn more here!
