Rancho Cordova, CA – February 18, 2009 – McCormick Place, located in Chicago and home to the National Restaurant Association Show, is looking to move in more of a “Green” direction. The U.S. Green Build Council, the organization that set standards for environmentally friendly buildings, has recently given the LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to the McCormick Place West Building. Their additional efforts include purchasing new receptacles to separate their garbage and their recyclables.

 Woodland, CA – February 4, 2009 – Many cities now offer separate garbage cans for recycling and yard waste to take to compost dumps. However, making your own compost piles is a great way to create rich fertilizer for your plants and lawn while helping the environment. The homemade pile will take several months to decompose, but if you start this in the fall, by springtime the fertilizer should be ready for use. Anything 100% natural and compostable can be put into these compost piles.
There are approximately 5000 commercial composting facilities in the United States, according to Jack Hoeck, a former president of the U.S. Composting Council. About 2500 of these are run by cities and handle mainly leaves and yard waste. The remaining facilities are able to handle virtually all types of compostable materials.

 Burlingame, CA – January 15, 2009 – When it comes to disposable tableware, many people are looking to options other than Styrofoam as the earth becomes more environmentally conscious. One of these options is bagasse.
Bagasse is recycled fiber created when sugarcane is squeezed and you are left with fibrous pulp material. This material used to be disposed by burning which caused air pollution and other hazardous conditions. It is now processed into a usable form that is the raw material used for tableware. Currently bagasse is solely produced in China for commercial use.
