Why this cause? Simply, it is a win-win.

Improve the health and well-being of our local citizens.
The Container Store has a track record in donations towards

causes that improve women's and children's health.

Help local farmers keep their produce, dairy, poultry etc.,

chemical free.

BY THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE COMMUNITY.

"Eat the Yard" through the efforts of two

veterans, Steve Smith and James Jeffers.

This non-profit now grows fruits and vegetables

for some of the city's best restaurants.

Their aim is to create a sustainable farm where

military veterans can live and work.

They have initiated efforts to provide agricultural

education to anyone who wants to learn about

growing food.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR DALLAS?

Dallas is one of the most sustainable, and environmentally friendly, cities to promote and grow both large

and small businesses.

By funding "Buy Texas" The Dallas Regional Chamber will prove, to both companies and citizens, how

important it is to keep the environment clean, non-polluted, and fresh.

Less emissions from outer cities and healthier, more delicious food!
