Why Restaurants Should Go Green
Burlingame, Ca – July 20, 2009 – The restaurant industry is one accustom to wastefulness. Styrofoam, plastic, and immense amounts of trash have been part of their operating systems for years. But this is the 21st century, and people are beginning to realize that its time to start taking care of our planet. So, slowly but surely, the industry with a big carbon footprint is making a turn for the greener.
There are many ways to go about going green. Cutting down on water and electricity use is very simple and it doesn’t cost a thing. In fact, it saves money. Another thing that is fairly simple is to separate the recycling into three different categories: cardboard, glass, and cans. It is important to separate them because they are recycled differently and some recycling centers don’t separate them properly. Another way to go green isn’t just about the restaurants though, it’s also about the customers. Styrofoam to-go containers have ruled the industry and polluted our planet for as long as most of us can remember, but there are now other options!
Woodland, Ca – July 13, 2009 – Recycling has always been something we’ve been told to do. However, a lot of us are lazy about it; only recycling when convenient, even if it really wouldn’t be that hard to just throw those bottles and cans in the bin. We now have recycling containers that are collected along with our trash containers. Most towns and cities have at least one or two recycling centers. And still, our laziness prevails.
