KEEP YOUR SUMMER COOL // We are now in the full swing of summer, which means temperatures are heating up! Higher temperatures also means a greater use of fans and/or air conditioners. To prevent the cool air from escaping your home or office, check your window and door seals! Here’s a simple trick to check your seals: put a dollar bill or piece of paper under your door or window and close those openings! When your door/window is closed, check how easy it is to pull that paper out. If it slides right out when you give a tug, then it’s time to replace your seal!⁠ ⁠ Checking your window/door seal will not only lower your electricity bill, but it can also lower your environmental footprint by saving electricity.We are all on this planet together!⁠ ⁠ photo: @tannahhims⁠ ⁠ #energy #summer #sustainability #ecohacks #mikuna #mikunafoods #fromtheearthfortheearth https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1QNQrnk9i/?igshid=7hj3f4x67v7b

BODIES OF WATER // For this week’s sustainability focus, our team is narrowing in on how we can protect our water supply and minimize our water use. * We encourage the elimination of soaps, skin care products, and detergents that contain NO phosphate, chlorine, ammonia or petroleum solvents. These cumulatively pollute our #freshwater sources and #oceans.  * We are reminded to use only #whatisneeded, to shorten showers, have appropriate gardening (drought tolerant in California), and to run full loads of laundry :) * To save water, we recommend using “grey water” (clean water that has already been used) whenever possible. * To be #mindful when #recycling , and ensuring that all plastics are striped from their labels and lids. By doing this the percentage of #recycled goods will increase and can help to minimize #microplastics outputs. * If possible develop your garden in your home and minimize total paved area. This can help #filtering runoff into the ocean or fresh water source depending where you live. #fromtheearthfortheearth #mikuna #chocho #feedyourselfwithlove #waterawareness #sustainability #protect #peopleandplanet #rainforest #plantprotein #health #lovechocho https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRRplHJnHp/?igshid=p3tvj6be9nda

Welcome to MIKUNA // So honored to have you here- My name is Ricky Echanique and I am the founder and CEO of MIKUNA. We are a company focused on sharing a nutrient-dense, regenerative crop called Chocho with the world. As a fourth generation Ecuadorian farmer and an advocate for powerful plant-based foods, I wanted to blend my two passions, thus MIKUNA was born!
