the first day of october. coming up. >> gloria, thank you so much. lisa we want to get to developing news this morning. uncertainty at the nation's capitol. we have a live look from there right now. both chambers of congress are meeting as a federal government is ours away from a potential shutdown in the senate, put together a bipartisan proposal to avert a shutdown. but house republicans turned it down on friday night. abc's seven news reporter tara campbell tells us how a shutdown would affect the bay area from fleet week to the bay area's beloved national parks. >> all national parks, they shut down anything. i'll be very upset to airport security, all poised to be crippled by a government shutdown. >> more worried about getting home. >> the bill is not passed friday. >> the house failing to pass a stopgap spending bill, making a government shutdown most likely. what is the logical next step as we keep working and make sure make sure we solve this problem? millions of federal workers potentially losing paychecks,

federal food benefits also on the line. we are most concerned about how this shutdown can impact low income people who rely on government benefits, government offices to be available. >> all you know, this is going to really harm them. >> tracy weatherby is with second harvest of silicon valley. one of the bay area's biggest food banks, and she says they've been preparing for a shutdown. >> people are not getting paychecks, not getting calfresh. we have really worked to ensure that we'll have resources available so that people can get groceries and that basic food support that they need to survive. warning if a shutdown does drag on, they could have a problem keeping up. i'm hoping the whole congress will work together to avert this completely unnecessary crisis for low income people. >> but east bay congressman mark desaulnier is losing hope. when asked if he's optimistic about getting a deal done. he was quite clear, not after today. >> i was surprised by how many republicans voted against a bill

that was completely unacceptable to us and the congressman isn't mincing words about the impact it will be become more disastrous over time, but people will feel the effects of it and they'll feel it reasonably quickly. >> lawmakers have until 9 p.m. our time to come to an agreement on some sort of spending bill. if they don't get it done, it will mark the fourth shutdown in the past decade. turning now to the bay area and the american icon being remembered this morning. dianne feinstein served 31 years in congress. her legacy goes beyond paving a pathway for women in politics and her place on the senate's judiciary committee. it all started here in the bay area as she rose through the ranks of san francisco politics. as you can imagine, tributes have been pouring in since senator feinstein's passing. abc7 news reporter tim jonze hears from local and national political leaders about her legacy. >> almost immediately after news broke of the passing of senator

dianne feinstein, tributes began pouring in from her congressional colleagues in washington, d.c. >> i do so, as i say, personal only as a friend, neighbor and fellow san franciscan. all of us do so with great pride. and as the great senator, she has been to our state, too. >> here in san francisco. >> it was more than close to her heart. she stayed on top of san francisco through the personal contacts, personal relationships and her regular return to the city. >> many say feinstein's legacy of advocacy and breaking glass ceilings will live on. she was the first female president of the san francisco board of supervisors was during that time that she led the city through the assassinations of then mayor george moscone and supervisor harvey milk. she then went on to become mayor of the city herself. again the first woman to have the role. she stepped up. she led with courage. >> she worked hard for this city

. she was a beacon of hope and inspiration during a very dark and tragic time, she ultimately became a california senator in 1992, a position she was planning on retiring from in 2025. >> it's because of her long history of public service that many felt compelled to lay flowers outside of her pacific heights home. >> i thought i'd come by and pay my respects, but probably come by and put my photo with her. you know, i have a photo with her and some flowers. >> beyond being a trailblazer for women in politics, those who knew her say feinstein was also a leader for jewish americans. >> she would talk about how much she cared about her jewish identity, how much she cared about the synagogue, and being a proud member of it. she would attend for the high holidays and other services and have life cycle events here for her family . >> feinstein was a member of congregation emanu-el in san francisco, outside of the temple friday evening. several people took time to tell us how much she'll be missed there. one mourner describing feinstein as a cherished and irreplaceable part of the community.

>> i came in here to say kaddish. i came to say, and probably i'd expect a lot of people would be here to say kaddish for her. >> that was tim jonze reporting . the flags at city hall will remain at half staff until tomorrow in her honor. senator feinstein's passing leaves an empty seat in the senate. the spotlight is already on governor gavin newsom, who will decide who will fill the seat. governor newsom has said he wants an interim caretaker to hold it until next year's election. he's also promised to select a black woman. >> some of the names that have risen to the forefront have been shirley weber, who was appointed to replace alex padilla as the secretary of state. we also have malia cohen, who's also been mentioned, and she is currently our state comptroller. and holly mitchell, who's worked with the newsom campaign previous. and she's a current la county supervisor. >> san francisco mayor, london breed is another name being suggested for the now vacant seat. we're also hearing from

people who worked alongside senator feinstein. one thing we've learned is she was not only a colleague and a friend, apparently she was also a matchmaker. former california senator barbara boxer was there at the start. she made history with senator feinstein when they came into the senate in 1992. the duo sometimes referred to as thelma and louise of the senate, served together for 24 years as senator. feinstein was also credited with helping others find love, also love to fix people up on dates and took great credit for a few marriages that happened. >> she was always searching around. if there was someone in the senate who was single, well , i have a great guy for you. i have a great gal for you. >> former senator boxer also shared that feinstein was an excellent aunt, gift giver. new this morning, tens of thousands of health care workers could soon walk off the job if a deal with kaiser permanente is not reached by tonight. if the negotiations fall through, we

and today. you can expect a massive celebration. it'll end with a drone light show back in the 1970s, san francisco developer warren simmons had the vision of building an urban park along what used to be the city's underdeveloped waterfront. that vision came to life on october 4th, 1978, and hopefully it'll be a nice day to spend some time outdoors because, lisa, how's it looking today? i know a lot of us, you know, may have experienced a little bit of a wet morning. are we going to continue to see that today? you know what? >> we still have a chance out there. this system is on the move. so that's the good news. we're going to see pockets of sunshine. we're seeing some of that already. but you can't rule out a few showers or maybe even isolated thunderstorm in the upper elevations today as this upper level low moves to the north and east of us later on today. so it's going to take its time moving on out of here. and in the meantime, it's brought some heavy rain. the northern sacramento valley, and we've had some snow, slushy snow around yosemite, upper elevations also around reno. but as we go in

closer. yeah you slept through a first wave of weak shower activity at about one 2:00 this morning. and since then, it's been breezy partly to mostly cloudy. a look at the golden gate bridge. and you'll notice that we've got a little bit of blue sky out there, a cool 55, oakland, 58. good morning, mountain view, 59. it is 57 half moon bay, but we're returning to a winter scene here from mount tam. but this isn't really going to last. wait till you see the seven day outlook. but for now, we've got a few showers. the clouds, 58, santa rosa, 59in napa with low 60s in concord. so uniform temperatures, we are much milder this morning and boy, what an ominous picture here right from our exploratorium camera. but awfully pretty out there. so damp areas, a little bit breezy this morning. that's going to last the breeze throughout the afternoon. some spotty showers, mainly higher elevations. but we could see them anywhere from napa to ben lomond and then looking at much drier air coming into play as soon as tomorrow. the north winds taking over and we're going to warm up

significantly. so today, 10 to 15 degrees cooler than we should be. and a look at the next couple of hours shows that we could see a few pop up showers. this is 230 in the afternoon. you can see up in santa rosa still the possibility there maybe into the east bay. so right on through the day, it's not a washout, but certainly you may get your head wet from time to time. but overall, if you do amounts are very, very light from a couple of hundreds to 4/100 right on the peninsula, redwood city and down through ben lowman, the santa cruz mountains, very slight. the state as a whole, though, looking at the sierra nevada picking up most of the activity from a quarter of an inch. and i talked about the slushy precip and the higher elevations. but as this low continues to trek to the south, even southern california, it's been an unusual summer and fall, picking up a little bit of precept. so fast forward into monday and temperatures climbing into the 80s inland, we don't stop there for tuesday. we've got some low 90s and look how the warmth spreads across the bay looking like wednesday and thursday. it

could be our warmest days, even upper 70s on the coast. it feels like fleet week, right? temperatures in the mid 60s downtown today, maybe 70 inland. so not very warm. we're looking at still some shower activity, maybe about seven 80in our inland valleys. and the accuweather seven day forecast keeping that level one with us. so though most of you not seeing too much out there brighter, drier, milder for your sunday the warming continues into your monday. but look how really gets going into the middle of the week and the only thing left is for the government to cooperate so we can have the blue angels next weekend. >> so i know and it looks like the weather would be nice for. right? >> yes. yes. that's what you expect. >> because i remember last year a couple of the air shows, i think maybe got canceled or something. fog because of the fog. yeah, i remember something like that. >> so. but usually not a cold front. yeah >> the fog. yeah. hopefully it'll be nice this year. right. well, thank you, lisa. just ahead, a sustainable way to get your new clothes to meet the local entrepreneur who founded a

company with a mission

instead of new reduces carbon emissions by an average of 25. abc7 news reporter jobina fortson tells us how a local company is helping cut down on textile waste. back in 2009, the iphone 3g was released, so help me god. >> president obama was inaugurated and a company called thredup was born. fast forward to 2023 and oakland based thredup is gracing the time 100 list of most influential companies. james reinhart is the cofounder and ceo. >> the true story is i was getting dressed one morning and i had a closet full of clothes

that i wasn't going to wear, so i went to a local consignment store to sell them. after school that day, took these bags in and i got to the front and the woman said, oh, we don't take these things. we just do luxury. and i thought, well, but this stuff has real, real value. it just doesn't have value to me. >> thredup is one of the world's largest online consignment and thrift stores where you can sell and buy a second hand clothes and accessories for women and kids. the company sells more than 55,000 brands across 100 product categories. >> the idea that we buy stuff and then eventually we just give it away and it ends up in a landfill at some point, just to me felt like a broken system. >> reinhart admits he didn't set out to make an environmental impact, but over time, it's become a central focus of the business. the fashion industry admits up to 10% of global carbon emissions, which is more than the european union. it continues to be the second largest consumer of water and 85% of all textiles go to dumps each year. fast fashion is the biggest culprit. if you don't know fast fashion refers to

cheaply made and priced clothing that looks a lot like designer items. zara, h&m and sheehan are just a few that dominate that market. >> i think people now, consumers, especially young people, they want to be unique. they want to be different. it's a tiktok generation. it's an instagram generation on and resale has that unique ability for you to find that stuff that other people don't have. i met up with thredup brand director to see some of their items for myself. >> denim is a big one for us. these are from madewell and madewell and levi's are some of our top categories. >> all clothing goes through a multi point inspection, so we did a little test on clothes from my own closet. is this something so jobina? >> first of all, don't sweat it. okay thank you. because we're going to set you up to feel like manage your expectations. this is a small item. >> okay? >> we are looking for a fall item and i heard that peplum is coming back. >> peplum is apparently coming back and polka dots. that's what the people say. and brown is really? and brown. we got one while it's in great condition

and it's super cute. >> it does not have a size tag on it anymore. so unfortunately we just can't take anything that doesn't have a size tag. yeah. jobina. i'm seeing a little bit of pilling. >> oh, that dress was a no, but for the yeses, you pack the items into a thredup clean out kit and send it off. if you're buying. this is what it looks like on the other end. >> so everything comes in one of our signature polka dot boxes. >> all materials can be recycled. thredup accepts about half of what is sent to them. left over items go to rescue boxes, and those are sort of like bulk boxes of items that still have a little life left in them, but aren't good enough to list one by one in our marketplace. >> okay. and then outside of rescue boxes, we also work with primarily domestic thrift stores and sell things by the pound to them. >> some argue that discouraging people from buying new is an economy killer, but advocates say no, it supports a circular economy. abc news chief meteorologist ginger zee may be one of the most visible examples

of this. she took the no new clothes challenge in june of 2022 with an advocacy group called remake our world, which is a group that looks at not just the environmental problems within the fashion industry, but at the social issues with people being underpaid, especially women. >> and so it was just a challenge to take a pause for three months and just really address how we consume clothing , because the average american consumes 16 pieces of clothing every three months. >> ginger is almost 17 months strong. no new clothes and shops, consignment or rents to supplement. >> i am sure to every time i have this discussion say that i am coming from a place of privilege where i have a choice of whether or not i can buy things. >> people with higher incomes generate, on average 76% more clothing waste than people with lower incomes, according to boston university school of public health. returning one clothing item back into the circular economy extends its life by an average of two and a

half years. thredup is helping other brands and retailers do that with their resale as a service program. >> if you go to madewell.com today, you can shop all pre-owned madewell clothing right from their website or you can do it. kate spade handbags that are all pre-owned and we power the back end of all that changes are coming in the name of sustainability. >> the council of fashion designers of america that organizes new york fashion week has pledged net zero by 2050. ralph lauren says it will use 100% sustainably sourced key materials by 2025, and newer brands like ford, the few intimates and grammar are making a splash in the market, with an increasing interest in gen z and millennial consumers. resale is expected to grow nine times faster than retail in the next four years. good news for resale companies like the realreal, poshmark and even rental services like rent the runway. what do you think will be hard in the future? >> i think fighting the fast

fashion fight will be real. and then i think the question is like, what's the role of government in creating incentives and policies that help consumers make good choices and help companies be more sustainable? and so we definitely want to be involved in an advocacy role. reporting in oakland, jobina fortson, abc seven news. >> i need to check that out. >> well, still to come on abc seven mornings shock and concern in san leandro. what we're learning about two deaths that happened outside the same gym just days apart

this is abc seven news. >> we are most concerned about how this shutdown can impact low income people who rely on government benefits, government offices to be available all now at 830, the clock is ticking for house lawmakers. >> a deal needs to be reached by tonight to avoid one of the

largest government shutdowns in history. this morning, how the shutdown could affect travel across the country. good morning to you. i'm gloria rodriguez. and if you're getting ready to head out. meteorologist lisa arjun is in the weather center with what you need to know. good morning, lisa. hey there, gloria. >> hi, everyone. good morning. if you look at live doppler seven, boy, it certainly doesn't look like the last day of september. looks more like january, right? well, we've had a few showers around here, but right now it looks ominous out there. and we're not done with the storm impact scale yet. we're going to leave it up throughout the day today. it's a weak system, level one. we've had the slick roadways, gusty winds, and we still could have a chance of a thunderstorm. there you see at the golden gate bridge kind of back lit there with the clouds and some sunshine. 55 downtown, it's 59 in mountain view, 61 in san jose. and awfully cloudy with some fog here at sfo, 59 in santa rosa, 56. fairfield, we've seen a couple of hundreds since about one 2:00 this morning. but the wind is with us. it will be

breezy and temperatures as much as 15 degrees cooler today. so here it is, 9:00 50s and 60s. but look what happens. by about 1:00, still could see some showers there. only in the 60s, maybe about 70 inland. we'll talk about what's going to happen for the second half of your weekend, first day of october here. coming up. >> gloria, thank you so much. lisa developing news now on how a potential government shutdown could affect you, especially if you have travel plans. abc news reporter phil lipof has the details this morning. >> concern mounting for air travel trouble as the government shutdown looms. >> it's going to put stress on the system from all directions come sunday. >> if the shutdown happens. nearly 58,000 tsa officers and 13,000 air traffic controllers working at airports coast to coast will remain on the job without pay since they are considered essential federal employees as it is as the employees now live paycheck to paycheck. >> so no one miss check can affect them in many different

ways. initially we operations should run smoothly, but travelers may start seeing disruption and delays if the shutdown drags on, air agents could start calling out sick, leading to longer lines and extended wait times. >> if this goes on for more than a few days, what we know from 2018 and 2019 with that long shutdown is you're going to be looking at longer lines, shorter tempers, and much lower capability of being able to get from point a to point b already short staffed if a deal isn't reached on capitol hill, training will pause for all new air traffic controllers. >> 1000 trainees furloughed. at the end of the day, that means more shortages and more outages. >> and that can contribute to cancellations and delays. >> that was phil lipof and this morning, we want to take some time to honor the late senator dianne feinstein since her passing, we've been taking a look back at some of her most memorable actions in her political career. senator feinstein was known to be hard working and, quote, tough as

nails. it comes with no surprise that she spent her last days in the senate working. she cast her final vote around noon on thursday. she walked on, assisted on the senate floor and voted in favor of a short term spending bill intended to avert a government shutdown. the senator passed away later that night. she was 90 years old, and since her passing, tributes have been pouring in, we spent all day friday talking to bay area leaders and national leaders about their encounters with her and about her legacy. abc7 news insider phil matier reflected on what feinstein meant to san francisco and he had an interesting analogy. >> she was the principal. you know, at the school, the principal that made sure everything ran okay. you know, you had your teachers, you had your students, but there was always the principal. she kept her hand in everything. yes, but she made it kind of orderly and, you know, and would blow the whistle. but in 1979, when the cable cars were literally falling apart, she went out

there and got them fixed. she one of the reasons why san francisco skyline looks the way it does is because of her. she revitalized a number of things in the city and in the bay area because that's what she was interested in. like i said, she was the principal. >> can there ever be another diane feinstein? >> no, you can. you can you can fill the seat, but you can't fill the person. yeah a political colleague from the bay area who is also serving in washington is remembering senator feinstein. >> abc7 news anchor dan ashley spoke with congressman mark desaulnier, who represents parts of the east bay. >> what are your thoughts today as you look back on her life and career? >> oh, i'm just so grateful that she was a friend. she's so filled with tenacity, she thoughtfulness, but also a grace that i wish there were more of right now in washington, d.c. we've heard that a lot today that despite her toughness and she was tough, she was also kind, compassionate and warm. yes. how she carried herself, i

mean, was more liberal than her. but always respected her. she was and she was a person of great consequence. she could get things done, which we need more of right now in politics. >> he emphasized the late senator's grace and manner in her dealings with her colleagues . and he also says that she had the respect of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, something that we have been hearing a lot at. and we sent you this alert so you could read more about her impact on the bay area and the nation. if you would like push notifications like this one sent to your mobile device, just download the abc seven bay area news app and enable your push notifications as coincidence or something far more nefarious. san leandro police are investigating two killings that are nearly ident article to one another. they happened less than two weeks apart in the parking lot of the 24 hour fitness at bayfair center for abc7 news reporter lauren martinez says the deadly shoot have shaken the community.

shot right there. it is a little cloudy outside. some of you may have woken up to a little bit of rain, but it is still gorgeous out there. i know we went out for a walk earlier and it just it just felt so nice to get that fresh air. well, right now, let's go to sports. san francisco giants fans are wondering who the team's next general manager will be. the organization fired gabe kapler yesterday after four seasons of

him leading the team. abc7 news reporter j.r stone has the details. >> good saturday morning to you. the san francisco giants making national headlines on friday. manager gabe kapler is out after just four seasons and just days after the team was eliminated from the playoffs. in those four seasons, kapler led the team to the playoffs just one time. farhan zaidi, head of baseball operations for the giants, said. we viewed ourselves as a playoff team, expected to be a playoff team, and we're not a playoff team. attendance is also down since 2021. that's a big deal for a team like the giants, whose often top five in attendance here is farhan, who spoke on friday, followed by analyst abc sports director larry beil. >> it's ultimately my job to put a product on the field that our organization is proud of and that our fans are proud of and frankly, it just hasn't happened the last couple of years. >> look, the giants do. they had

to do something. and frankly, it's a lot easier to dump your manager than your whole roster. but this team has been in a freefall coming down the stretch. they dropped out of the wild card playoff chase, lifeless. even worse, they were just boring. and when your star pitcher, logan webb says big changes need to be made, well, the first change came with gabe kapler being let go after four seasons. kapler the opposite of the man who replaced the beloved bruce bochy, who, oh, by the way, has texas in first place. kapler is an analytics driven skipper. he lives and dies with his platoon system, clearly rubbed some pitchers the wrong way with a lack of defined roles. but let us be real here. this was a mediocre roster with only two bona fide starting pitchers. ironically, when capra led the giants to a 107 win season in 2021, that was fool's gold. the giants thought they were good. they were real contenders. in reality, the whole roster overachieved the squad was not nearly as good as it appeared. and the minor league system. this is on farhan zaidi has not produced big time stars. now the question is who takes over and will that help

the giants land a star free agent in the off season? >> no. gabe kapler managing the giants after his firing, but they still had a game on friday night, the start of a final three game series against the dodgers. thairo estrada headlined to start things off, he receives the 2023 willie mac award. his daughter even threw out the first pitch to him. i think she's got a future on the mound on into the game first inning and the dodgers say we are in first place in the division and this is why will smith gone dodgers with an early lead up three one in the third and wilmer flores says i can do that too mr. 2022 willie mac award winner make it 3 to 2 in the top of the sixth. hey, i think we got a game right. um, maybe not. that's a negative. j.d. martinez line drive three run shot dodgers go up 6 to 2. and that was the final al dodgers win. 6 to 2. have a great weekend, everybody. i mjr stone.

>> all right, j.r, thank you so much. and now let's switch gears to weather because i know a lot of you are planning the weekend out. and lisa, how's it looking for the rest of the weekend? >> pretty good in fact. sunnier. we've got this area of low pressure that is pushing to the north and east throughout the day today. so we're not done with the rain yet. but boy, all the activity has been in the mountains. we've had some snow, some high elevation snow, some thunderstorms. northern sacramento valley and a winter weather advisory for the southern sierra. while the bay area sits on the other side with a mixture of clouds and sun and still a few showers, perhaps a thunderstorm into the early afternoon. there's a look at gray sky. emeryville, 55 downtown. it is 57 mountain view, half moon bay, 58 in oakland and 61 in san jose. and look at this scene. it looks winter like on top of mt. tam. we will get some clearing in the clouds will thin out a bit. but we're also going to see that atmosphere are still kind of unstable for maybe a thunderstorm form later on today. 59, santa rosa, 61 in concord. and this view has been

one of the most interesting. all morning long. san jose there with the mix of clouds and a little bit of sun there. so we've got some damp pavement out there. we've had a line of light showers move on through and still some spotty showers, maybe more than that to come in the highest elevations. and then sunnier for your sunday. so we'll take you hour by hour and you notice the pockets of clear sky. but also we're looking at perhaps some more showers and thunderstorms forming here in this unstable air mass. so we'll continue to see these rotate through through about five, 6:00, and you'll notice even through 8:00 there, the possibility remains, but amounts will be light. they'll be moving on through. and some of you may not see any rain at all and see a partly cloudy sky. so that's why we're keeping it a level one system, a very light one, and certainly very early season at best. so most of the activity in the mountains here from the northern to southern sierra and even later on into southern california, the wind certainly

picking up. we're looking at 25 to 30 mile an hour winds already . and then throughout the afternoon, notice the colors here. it will be breezy and temperatures may be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than average. so as for tomorrow, we warm up with temperatures as much as 8 to 9 degrees warmer in the inland valley. so we'll be in the upper 70s and then by monday, the warming trend and drying trend really gets going. we're not looking at any strong offshore winds yet, but still, we will have that elevated fire danger as our inland valleys will climb into the 90s and even the coast will warm through the 70s. so for today, just only upper 60s in napa could see a shower, a thunderstorm, mid 60s on the peninsula for palo alto and inland, maybe a few 70s, but barely. the accuweather seven day forecast we're looking at that level one system with temperatures the coolest today. then for tomorrow it'll be brighter, milder mid 80s on monday inland and look at the

coast warming through the middle of the week that october warmth that we expect will be with us through wednesday thursday that could be the warmest days, but we still are looking at perhaps the warmth sticking around into next weekend. so that would be more typical. >> it's wild, 90 degrees already at the end of the week. >> yeah, we haven't had really any summer, so why not now? >> it's coming quick. all right. well, thank you so much, lisa

hi, everyone. i'm dave williams, and welcome to our local spotlight. today we've got an inside look at the nation's number one specialty tea brand, bigelow tea. and joining me now to discuss bigelow tea's sustainability initiatives and efforts is the ceo and president, cindi bigelow. cindi, how do you manage the sustainability operation in a company this size? well, i always say, some of the best things that we all do-- i know for me, some of the best things you do are not really based on this strategic view of where you want to go, and this is exactly a perfect example. so when my children were in, like, third and fifth grade, they were coming home and they were talking a lot about recycling and that we needed to do it in the house, and this was a new phenomenon. so i started trying to do my part to recycle, and i started to come in the office, and i'm saying, "okay, no one's talking about it here." you know, as a manufacturing organization, we're producing a lot of refuse. what are we going to do about it?

so i just started small, just doing some baby steps along the way to get people involved. and what was so interesting to me... was how passionate people were about this subject. and really what i ended up doing is igniting people to follow, really, something that was so important to them, and i let them really take the lead. and today you will see everything we've done has really been a culmination of really opening up that pathway for the employees to just say, "hey, what else you want to do? let's try it." for example, our cafeteria. you're going to have three bins: two compost bins, one recycle, and then a small garbage-refuse-landfill. you'll see that there's a pollinator pathway, which means there is really-- this is a facility that has been put together in terms of its planting to help the bees. we put in a community garden. we have almost 400 pounds out of that community garden of fruits and vegetables that go to the local food bank.

every year, i get one tomato they give me out of the garden every year. it's the cutest thing ever. i'm like, that's it? but that's all i would ever want because i just love that all of those fruits and vegetables are going to the local food bank. tell me a little bit about being a certified b corporation. i was reading about a b corp, i don't know, maybe six years ago, and i really liked what i read. and i had no intention for us to become a b corp. i say we try to run our organization by people, product, and profit. and i think that everything we're doing in the world of sustainability, and it really just fits in with that whole mantra of making sure that we're taking care of our people and that "people" means the community, and the b corp means we're looking at the whole community. so it all, to me, just goes hand in hand. - it works together. - i think what we should do now is go see some of these areas you discussed. i am so excited to show you some of this stuff because it's great that we get to chat, but now you get to see all the good work that everyone has done at this company. there's actually a lot right here in this one row. so really, it starts with the fact

that we now only use silverware. before, we were using compost silverware, but at the same time, it still has to be composted. so we have now reversed that. we use silverware. we installed the sink. we have no pcs. you can see that for the mayonnaise, the ketchup, the mustard, the sugar packet. we don't want anything to be discarded that doesn't have to be discarded. we have almost 900 solar panels up here. we installed these years ago. we were the number one facility in the state with the most solar panels, and i'm proud to say we're not anymore because so many other companies are doing this. so we get almost 20% of our energy from these solar panels. we got a bunch of different tomatoes, and, you know, i am allowed one a year. so if you want, i can take my tomato now. oh, i don't want to be a part of that. oh, look, look, look. what do you think? ooh. oop! - it fell off. - it fell in my hand. - nature. - it's my tomato now! can't wait to eat it. this is the beginning of the pollinator pathway, and this has been designed, and so the bees have a pathway, and the butterflies have a place they can come

to do their thing, be safe and do what bees do. what a great behind-the-scenes tour. is there anything else you want to share with us before we get out of your hair here on what bigelow tea is doing as far as their sustainability initiatives and efforts? no, i guess i just really want to thank you because you highlight all the work that we're doing that we're very, very proud of. to me, i look at it as two ways: people can understand all the good work we're doing, but also other companies who maybe don't know how to go into this world of sustainability can watch this and say, hey, i can do that. so that'd be a wonderful result of getting an opportunity to spend time with you and showing all the fun stuff we're doing. well, the pleasure was all of ours. thank you again. thank you for watching. to learn more about bigelow tea and their sustainability initiatives and efforts, visit bigelowtea.com, and follow them on all of your favorite social media platforms. we'll see you next time. the preceding advertisement was paid for by bigelow tea.
