Places

We engage places to make healthy choices easier.

Blue Zones Project is designed to influence a critical mass of places across a community, optimizing each environment to support healthy choices for the people who spend time there.

Within a Blue Zones Project community, we develop deep relationships with the organizations we engage: worksites, schools, restaurants, grocery stores, civic and faith-based groups. We provide tailored tools to help organizations implement evidence-based practices in their environments.
 
By working collaboratively to make permanent and visible changes, healthy choices become easy choices in all of the places where people live, work, learn, and play.
 
For Certified Campuses, Blue Zones Project works with campus leadership to optimize on-site cafeterias and vending, facilities, and physical layout to ensure healthy choices are easy to make.
The Albert Lea Hy-Vee and Blue Zones Project have a wonderful collaborative partnership. At Hy-Vee our motto is making lives easier, healthier, and happier and Blue Zones Project that that motto community-wide through passion, planning, and education.

Becoming a Blue Zones Project Approved restaurant has positively impacted our business. Although Taco Heads has always promoted clean and healthy living, we now have a respected organization that further confirms our dedication to health and wellness.

We were happy to participate with Blue Zones Project because it’s all about making healthy choices easier. Blue Zones Project encourages choice, and we want our customers to have plenty to choose from. There are a lot of restaurants in Naples, and by offering more to choose from we know that we can serve even more customers.

Why is being a Blue Zones Project Approved school a good thing? Simple. I firmly believe healthy children learn better. They behave better too.
