West Bottoms Eco-Market is a pop-up sustainability hub for eco-conscious shoppers.
This event is truly a hub for those of us that desire to consume all of life with our planet in mind. Earthbeat is a reminder of the heartbeat of the planet. To connect in and know that you yourself are nature and to remember our responsibility to protect, nurture and nourish this planet we’ve been gifted and the resources that it provides to us. We believe in the power of forming a connection with all of the things that you buy and use in your day to day life. Where we have connection to the maker, the farmer or the curator, we are more likely to be a steward of the things we purchase. If we know the energy that went into something, we can truly mindfully utilize that resource to the best of our ability. So, we have created a pop-up in Kansas City where we make that possible. Not only that, but connecting into those of a like-mind. This is a space to come and make new friends, meet new businesses in Kansas City that align with your values of the world and ours.

Making sure you have re-fillable containers, shopping totes, re-usable coffee mugs, anything that you will need in order to make your trip successful. Come with a plan.
Investing Into Our Cities Sustainable Growth
We are providing the curation of desired sustainable services in a single central location. Making shopping and mindful choices easier on your wallet, your car, your time and your mind.
