This article is about a company who makes "green" products for all parts of life, including the restaurant industry. Their product list for restaurants ranges from cups to bags to to-go containers. They also product furniture and other household items that could be used in a restaurant.
I think this company is a great example of how restaurants can be going green. Green Home says that they want to add "environment friendliness" to things that customers consider when buying a product. I think that's a great goal for a company and it should really get customers thinking about what they're buying and why.
I found this article and website to be very positive and encouraging because there is an entire company dedicated to bettering the products put in people's homes and in the restaurant industry. After looking around the website and at all the products, I was so impressed with how many different ways this company offers customers to help them go green in their homes and in their businesses.

I liked the approach of this article of going green in the home. I think all of the information about what is considered going green is definitly helpful. I think we should explain multiple different methods and ideas for going green in our presentation. For example reducing toxicity, reusability, eco friendly packaging, all of the different ways a restaurant could be going green so the class understands it's more than just recycling. I also thought it was interesting that the website broke it down based on price, quality, and convienience, because these are usually people's top concerns. They are proving that going green can be compleatly practical if someone is smart and efficient about it. I didnt really read anything about the food industy, but I think these are all part of a good foundation that if people realize going green is easier and more economical than they thought, it can have a ripple effect of what they think of green restaurants. Maybe the public will be more responsive to green restaurants and the sustainability movement.
