As the days get shorter and the weather begins to cool down, the first days of fall mark the beginning of Sustainable September, a month of events focused on encouraging sustainable practices throughout the Spokane Community. As most of our customers are aware, sustainability is at the core of EcoDepot’s mission. We look forward to a month long celebration of sustainability but especially to the Progressive Bites and Buildings which we are sponsoring along with McKinstry, Strong Solutions and The Whole Plate. Join us as we walk through Downtown Spokane visiting local green buildings, the City Hall Deck, the Bank of America Building and the Saranac Building. At each building we will have a local food plate prepared by a Downtown chef.
