Summer shindings are better when they’re local — and sustainable. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or heading to a community event, small choices (like where you shop and what you sip) make a big impact.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got you.

Local favorite West 6th Brewing is one of many businesses certified through Lexington’s Green Check program, a free initiative that helps organizations improve their eco-friendly practices through waste reduction, energy efficiency, and water conservation.

Want to support more organizations doing good for the planet and our community? Just look for the Green Check badge, recognized as a sign that they’re going the extra mile for sustainability.

And while you’re stocking up for your next event, don’t forget: aluminum is the most recyclable drink packaging, beating out plastic and glass every time.

Let’s raise a can (of local brew) to smart choices and a cleaner, greener Lexington.
