Congratulations to the two winners of Green America's People & Planet Award (theme: "best of the green economy"): Bennett Compost and Planted Table.

Since 2012, our People & Planet Award has recognized outstanding small businesses with deep commitments to social justice and environmental sustainability. This project has been made possible thanks to a special donor committed to giving a boost to innovative entrepreneurs. The People & Planet Award has bestowed over $300,000 on green businesses since its inception. We are pleased to recognize today’s winners in this final award cycle.

Planted Table Meals
Oakland, CA

Planted Table is the first zero waste meal delivery service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not only do they deliver meals in reusable glass containers, but they also work out deals with farmers and food suppliers to not deliver anything that comes in single-use plastic and to take back the boxes they deliver the food in so they can reuse them. They volunteer teaching zero waste practices to local school children and any unused food gets donated to local homeless shelters. All food is vegan.
