Greetings!
Eat your lunch and love the planet too.

GO Box is a new, innovative service providing reusable to-go containers to downtown Portland food carts and their customers. With GO Box, food cart customers get their meal in a reusable, durable container. More GO Box containers mean less trash.

Now E-San Thai and Pedal Bike Tours, located in the Haseltine Building, have added a GO Box program! When you order take-out from E-San Thai, ask to join the GO Box program, your food will come in a reusable container that you can then rinse and drop off at Pedal Bike Tours. You will then be given a token for the next time you eat at a food cart or restaurant participating in the program. To learn more, go towww.goboxpdx.com.

2012 Resolution #5: less gas, more fitness.

Pedal Bike Tours in the Haseltine Building offers free lunchtime fitness rides. Available starting in January on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at noon, they are a great way to get some exercise and see our great city of Portland. A changing room and shower is also available at the shop. For more information or a list of other bike tours, check outwww.pedalbiketours.com.

By using GO Box, you can get your meal in a reusable container, skip the disposable, and help make Portland even greener — all while eating waste-free and guilt-free! The one-time subscription fee of $8.50 entitles you to a reusable container for an unlimited time — a great deal for those of us who love the food carts and hate the waste!

Have you heard of Go Box? It’s a great program which seeks to do away with disposable food containers. It’s simple, for an $8.50 lifetime membership you get a token which you use at a local food cart. The cart takes your token and gives you your food in a reusable container. Eat your food, bring the container to a convenient dropoff box (like Pedal!) and receive a new token. The container is sterilized and returned to the vendor. Hopefully in a few years/decades the idea of buying food in a container that gets thrown away or worse, dumped somewhere in our beautiful state is an unbelievable horror story told to children.

If you live in Portland and eat downtown, give it a try, if not, soon it will be in a neighborhood near you.
