Misfit Juicery was started by two Georgetown students late last year. There's a lot of noise about food waste out there, especially as we learn that some 40 percent of food is thrown out BEFORE it hits the supermarket shelves. Eating ugly fruits and veggies is becoming all the rage. These guys are using uglies to make yummy juices like "Kale + Stuff", "Off Beet" and a couple more varieties. Buy this good juice locally at Glen's Garden Market, Sticky Fingers, FreshFarm Markets at Foggy Bottom and on H St NE as well as a few more locations. Yum!
Love to cycle, but not so crazy about the hills? Check out Riide, a DC made electric bicycle! While their Kickstarter campaign is over (they've raised all the funds they needed), this video gives a great overview of the bike. With a battery that will last for 25 miles (don't forget that you can still pedal it, too) and a charger that can be plugged into any electrical outlet, there's a lot to love about this bike!
Finally, at least for now, maybe I'm the last person to know about Wallapop, an app that allows you to buy and sell things locally. Think Craigslist with pictures. It's searchable and now in DC. It uses your location and offers items that are close to your location. You can contact the seller and even go look at the item before deciding whether or not to buy it. Pretty cool!Enjoy, be green. Recycle! Freecycle.
