This week, Love Your City is highlighting the amazing work of Happy Raptor Distilling (@504rum on social media)! Happy Raptor is a local rum distillery that has definitely gone the extra mile to give back to the New Orleans community while also creating some unique cocktails and distilled rums!

LifeCity recently adopted a 4-day work week to examine the changes in work-life balance and productivity of employees. So far, results have been overwhelmingly positive. Team members have more motivation to be productive during the 4 days of the work week, communicate intentionally, and use time efficiently. Additionally, taking the extra day off to work on personal projects and enjoy time with family and friends is a huge benefit for mental health.

When looking at the issues we face, both locally and globally, it is important to realize how connected everything is. Gender disparities and climate change may seem like two separate problems that need specifically catered solutions, but looking at them that way is part of the issue.

Support local artists by visiting the weekend art market at Disco Warehouse, located on Tchoupitoulas Street! Buying locally has many social and environmental benefits.

The Green Project is a nonprofit organization that recognized that New Orleans needed an alternative to dumping paint and polluting regional waterways. With equity in mind, the founding members sought to recycle usable paint and resell it back into the community at an affordable price. The idea expanded to building materials and the salvage store was born.
