There are a ton of great opportunities to get out and support local in the week ahead. Market Mafia is your resource for supporting the maker movement in Greater Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Miami.

This week we\'re chatting about Earth Day and Arbor Day celebrations, along with environmentally conscious local events! Catch the Sarasota Farmers Market Earth Day Celebration this Saturday; they\'re celebrating progress with their eco initiatives like use of recyclable containers. The Green Thumb Festival is happening all weekend in St. Pete, celebrating Arbor Day with an estimated attendance of 30-35K attendees each year. We\'re also chatting about our April column, Movers & Makers in Green Bench Monthly magazine. This month we highlighted the efforts to create a more environmentally friendly Sunshine City; we\'re chatting about companies like Shift Co and Suncoast Compost, as well as event series like Indie Flea (an ocean friendly event) and Creative Mornings St Pete (a zero waste certified event series). This episode originally aired on Radio St Pete on April 19, 2019.
