You don’t need to look far to find eco-friendly eateries in the District.

From Dupont Circle to Chinatown, you can find sustainable meals ranging from plant-based burgers to cocktails made with almond milk. If you want to stick to your plant-based streak while treating yourself, check out a sustainable joint that uses compostable to-go packaging and serves plant-based meals with locally produced ingredients.

Here’s a rundown of a few sustainable restaurants to visit in honor of Earth Day:
