So I know I used this article as examples for our project, but I really think they are great ones and should be posted on our blog. This article showcases three establishments and what they are doing to go green.
In Nappa Valley, California a business called Ubuntu Restaurant and Yoga Studio uses recycled furniture from salvaged woods and harvests food from a local bio-dynamic garden. They also serve wine from a sustainable vineyard.
Next is Chez Panisse, Alice Waters business. Chez Panisse is located in Berkley, California and aims to serve the best organically grown food. they have started a foundation to educate a new generation of students to learn to be sustainable.
Last is Acorn House in London, England. They claim to be the first truly Eco-friendly training restaurant in London. They commit themselves to monitor water usage, utilize green energy and use bio diesel transport.

yeah i like this article all look and sound great. it really should be more important in the food industry and its good to start with these as the prime examples.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar, haha. But it definitely gave us some great info for our project.
ReplyDeleteI liked how this article gave a listing of how different restaurants approached going green. All of them are different and gave me a different insight to sustainability, like the first restaurant listed Ubuntu Restaurant and Yoga studio, they used recycled wood in their furniture and advise their staff to walk and bike. This is different than anything we mentioned in our project because we mainly focused on the food aspect, but this could have been interesting to include too. I also liked how in the last paragraph they included that going green doesn’t necessarily have to be hugely expensive, but a restaurant can make small steps at becoming green just by having the right mindset.
