Community Support Days with Whole Foods and SCRAP

The local communitarians at SCRAP (School & Community Reuse Action Project), champions of the "reuse” level of the recycling pyramid, are getting some recognition from national market chain Whole Foods. Wednesday, July 2, 5 percent of proceeds from Portland-area Whole Foods markets will be donated to the recycled art center as part of Whole Foods' "Community Support Days." Essentially, this means that every cage-free egg and line-caught trout you buy today translates to more people getting crafty with junk. Score! SCRAP, 2915 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., 294-0769.

Tour de France Avec le Pain

If you’d rather watch the Tour de France with an espresso and a croissant and not a glass of vin du terroir, point your road bike toward St. Honoré Boulangerie, where live coverage of the race will be aired every day starting at 6 am. This year’s race will be a test for competitors and fans—to see if they can fend off a heart attack after eating butter-rich pastries every day during the course of the monthlong event. St. Honoré Boulangerie, 2335 NW Thurman St., 445-4342. Map
