A Few Notes on Going Green
The National Restaurant Association recently published a news article to their website about how making your restaurant more energy efficient doesn’t mean spending a lot of money.
One restaurant owner cited in the article says that his restaurant chain has had the most success with lighting, water and trash. The restaurant owner has updated the lighting fixtures in his operations to models that use less electricity than their predecessors. They are also making a valiant effort to reduce water waste by using low-flow valves on faucets and waterless toilets. They also try to compost as much waste as they can.
The overall point of the article is that every little bit does help. While most restaurant owners don’t have the resources to build a LEED-certified or totally sustainable restaurant, most all restaurant owners can do small things like recycle and change the types of light bulbs used in their establishments.
