11.11 Great sales day but it leaves an even greater impact on our planet due to our mindless consumerism.

Earth Overshoot Day reflects the date we’ve gone over the threshold of using up an entire year’s worth of resources. In 1970, It's December 30. In 2021, it's Jul 29 (this means we need 1.7 earths to sustain us) And for Singapore alone, our date is Apr 10 😱

Before you click 'Shop now' or 'Add to cart', think twice 'Do I really need it? Is there a greener option?'

What affects our planet affects us. What's good for our planet is good for us!

Happy 11.11 guys!

"While the average price of our local produce may be higher, we want to educate our consumers why they should select local produce. Local produce is safe, fresher, lasts longer, and there is less spoilage and food waste, as the produce does not need to travel for long periods of time before reaching the consumer. This also means a lower carbon footprint was taken to bring the food to your tables.”
