Boys We Heart: Raymond Roker (Krishna)

Yesterday was my good friend Raymond’s birthday and I was determined to make it a green celebration. He’s the founder of one of my favorite publications, Urb magazine, a long-time vegetarian, a passionate animal lover and an all around great guy. I spent a good part of my day on a mission to find him the perfect eco-friendly gift. I was ecstatic when I found this t-shirt since Raymond is known to bike around town. My love for Sigg bottles run so deep that I’ve decided to gift them from now on in the hopes that the person receiving it will give up water bottles too.

For dinner we opted for Akasha, (9543 Culver Blvd, Culver City, 90232) a newly opened restaurant in Culver City that has a very high standard of sustainability. Their bar highlights fresh juice cocktails and organic spirits, beer and wine. Their kitchen sources from farms, ranches and fisheries that are guided by the principles of sustainability. Some of the materials used throughout the restaurant are natural ceramic tiles made from sand, reclaimed barn wood and local limestone.

We indulged in great conversation over a bottle of organic wine and enjoyed our meals knowing that this restaurant was doing their part to make the earth a better place. Click here to see a list of all their incredible green practices.

Happy Birthday Raymond! xx
