We have been happily introduced to a new line of organic beverages by Santa Cruz Organic. As part of our overall yoga practice, we are happy to support and promote this company for its outstanding efforts towards healthy living and environmental sustainability.

Besides participating in the organic movement, Santa Cruz Organic has taken on strong measures to be mindful when producing its products. Santa Cruz Organic has won the WRAP Award for the past 9 years, achieving a 96% recycling rate for all their manufacturing waste. They invest in renewable energy credits, all of their products are Green-e certified and they are presently building a new solar array on site.

"Everyone associated with the Santa Cruz Organic brand - from upper management to growers in the field - is dedicated to making environmentally sound choices. In recognition of our efforts to reduce packaging, increase recycling rates and save energy, we have received the WRAP Award (Waste Reduction Awards Program) for the past nine years. This award, from the California Integrated Waste Management Board' shows our ongoing dedication to sustainability. Most recently, we have begun purchasing renewable energy certificates to offset 100% of the energy used to produce Santa Cruz Organic brand products. This commitment prevents more than two million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from being released into the atmosphere every year."
