Texas’ Greenest Restaurant to celebrate Earth Week with daily events, specials, giveaways and a Community Mural Project
At bellagreen, every day is Earth Day, which is why all locations are hosting a week-long Earth celebration packed with eco-friendly fun, April 19-24!
As Texas’ Greenest Restaurant, bellagreen strives to help its guests “Eat Well & Tread Lightly.” The brand maintains harmony with the environment by decreasing its ecological footprint through water conservation, alternative power, pollution reduction, sustainable sourcing practices, and upcycled furnishing materials. Additionally, all seven bellagreen locations have officially reduced their plastic footprint by 90% since 2017.
“At bellagreen, we are committed to contributing to a better world for the communities we serve by proudly protecting Mother Earth through our many sustainable environmental practices,” said CEO Jason Morgan. “We take this commitment seriously. bellagreen is the only restaurant in Texas where every location has a three-star green certification. Mother Earth is at the center of everything we do, and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate her beauty with our guests and teams during Earth Week this year.”
During the entirety of the celebration, April 19-24, guests can visit bellagreen.com to enter the brand’s Earth Week Sweepstakes by making a “Go Green” pledge. When guests make a pledge, they will be entered for a chance to win bellagreen’s favorite eco-friendly products, valued at more than $350! To add to the excitement, the first 300 guests to enter the sweepstakes will receive a code after April 24 for $5 off their next online order. Throughout the week, guests are also encouraged to participate in a Plastic Bottle Recycling Drive by bringing five empty plastic bottles to any bellagreen location for 10% off their meal.

- Monday, April 19 — To kick off the week, bellagreen will give away 100 free tree seedlings, in partnership with Trees For Houston, from 5-8 p.m. at its City Centre location (800B Town and Country Blvd.).

bellagreen is partnering with local Houston mural artist, Andrea Gilson, to paint a 20-foot-tall barren tree on an exterior wall in the days leading up to the project. Then, on Earth Day, the entire Houston community is invited to “leaf” their mark (handprint) to fill the tree with leaves. By day’s end, the tree will be filled with colorful handprints representing all Houstonians, a beautiful message of unity and eco-friendliness for the community! Gables Upper Kirby is sponsoring the event by providing the mural space at bellagreen’s River Oaks location (2305 W Alabama St.).
- Friday, April 23 — Guests can receive half off any bottle of SIP Certified wine when they say “Happy Earth Week” at the register or use the code HAPPYEARTHWEEK online for pick up or curbside on orders that include a $5 food purchase.
- Saturday, April 24 — bellagreen will finish off the week-long celebration with a bang by hosting a bella Bash! all day!
