PLANET-Based Party

Come party with the Living With Harmony peeps as we celebrate our awesome community and the planet at our PLANET-Based Party in Denver.

This event will be at Native Foods in Glendale, CO. and was created to support the owner, Michael Olivas, and his restaurant so he can continue to provide innovative, tasty and nutritious plant-based cuisine for the mainstream.

Check out their website and their extensive menu that certainly will have something fun for everyone. Order food to support Native Foods.

The lectures are FREE to attend. There is plenty of party space, but come early to find a good seat, to order food and to socialize. Check out the Living With Harmony booth and meet Andrea Rose and JP, the co-founders.

There will be plenty of opportunities to order food and drinks throughout the event. Come early or come late, just participate.

Living With Harmony supports Native Foods and their efforts to use reusable dinnerware, flatware and cups for diners. Come hungry and bring your own containers to bring home extra food or leftovers and to help the planet.

Visit our sponsored non-profit, Bleating Hearts, a local animal sanctuary that provides lifelong refuge for a lucky few that have escaped the fate of most animals bred and raised for food. Pick up some vegan educational materials too.

Tom Dodd – Compost is Cool

Tom grew up in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Before moving to Denver in 2017, he graduated from Temple University with a degree in Environmental Studies. He loves to snowboard in the winter, hang by the river in the summer, and play music all year round. Tom is super passionate about waste diversion and sustainability and believes composting is a great way for anyone to start their sustainability journey.tom@scrapsmilehigh.com

We are fortunate to have expert Tom Dodd of Scraps Compost sharing the secrets to keeping our waste out of the landfills, building healthier soils and keeping our compostable items and recyclables from getting contaminated by getting them to the right place.

Composting food and yard waste is one of the most important things that we can all do that has a huge impact on our environment and our methane emissions.

Living With Harmony couldn’t host a PLANET-Based Party without including tools to live more gently on the planet, and composting is one of the core concepts of PLANET-Based Living.

Once you know it, its easy to know what goes where, what is compostable and how to compost properly. After seeing Tom, you will become a pro in composting concepts, and you won’t even need to have a compost pile of your own. Bring your curiosity and your questions.
