“Just picked up my order from @groundskrewe and I am beyond impressed. The products are all quality and unique. I hope this is the spark that we need to get local krewes on board with more sustainable and fun throws.” -William Kelly

“Love this. City needs this more than it knows. Hope to watch it grow! “ -TheJCat

“This is wonderful. I couldn't believe the tonnage of beads that was found in our catch basins. I have no problem with Krewes throwing fewer throws if they are less destructive to our environment.” -southy1995

“Throws that are sustainable and produced locally? I love this! “ -jackalopian

“Fired up to throw something that matters.” -Graham

“This is my first Mardi Gras and I’m super excited for it, but also worry over the waste. I love seeing these efforts for a more sustainable celebration.” -Christian

“I can't thank you enough for your work with Grounds Krewe. I am a NOLA native and former teacher always working to educate my students (and myself) on ways we could be greener in day-to-day life in order to have a more positive effect on the environment. After recently moving back to New Orleans, I've made it a goal to be more proactive about this in my own life and with my own family. With carnival around the corner, I was just talking with friends the other day about how much I love Mardi Gras, but I'm bothered by the amounts of waste and plastic (beads) it produces. I just saw an article that mentioned your organization and am elated that there is a demand for eco-friendly throws in New Orleans. Looking forward to seeing what's to come for Grounds Krewe and figuring out how I can be more involved and support y'all in the future!” -Ashley Ledet
