Ecology

Rainbow's ecological needs are met by an annually elected committee of workers who manage our extensive in-store recycling and composting. In addition, they serve as an educational resource for workers, buyers and customers, as well as actively seeking out ways for Rainbow to remain true to its Mission. But aside from that, other workers continue to uphold our ecological mission, whether through buyer purchasing, policy-making, in-store maintenance or every day operational decisions.
