You care about the planet. But does your money? 🌱

Your 401(k), Roth IRA, or regular investments could be supporting industries that don’t align with your values. You’re not alone in wondering where your money actually goes.

Can you BELIEVE these videos were taken in Philly?! ❄️😍

It’s easy to forget about that though we live in a major city, we are still very much living IN nature and the “great outdoors” is in our backyard. Our first snow of the season this past weekend was a great reminder of just that.

If you can’t LEAF the leaves, compost them! 🍂

There's two more drop-off dates for your bagged leaves this season. The leaves collected will be turned into compost and reduces how much we send to the landfill!

Green Elephant encourages participant’s to bring a handcrafted, thrifted, or repurposed item you already have. Last year, our guests went home with brand new boots, gorgeous earrings, candle holders, vintage jackets- you name it!🥂

🗑️ Due to the holiday there will be no trash or recycling collections on 11/27 or Friday, so trash is TWO days behind. If your block has twice-a-week trash collection, you'll only have ONE collection day, and trash will be picked up on the same day as your recycling. 🗑️
