Blogdowntown calls our attention to Multeepurpose, a hybrid cafe and clothing boutique in Little Tokyo. Along with local and organic food and coffee, the shop also designs and sells tees whose proceeds go to local charities. And while all this do-gooding is obviously fantastic, we were most intrigued with the founders' plans to launch a 'green flea market' in the Japanese Cultural Village Plaza—because you can never have too many opportunities to simultaneously shop and save the world.
