Make Your Restaurant Ecofriendly







Many people are adopting eco-friendly policies at home. But if you own a restaurant, adapting earth friendly policies will not only gain you favor by your patrons, but you may even save some money.


Instructions


Making Your Restaurant Eco-Friendly


1. Lower your lights one hour earlier for dinner service than you would on a normal dinner service night. Light your candles at each table to create ambiance. Your diner's will appreciate the mood lighting and over time, your electric bill will be lower for the year.








2. Replace your plastic bags with paper bags. Today, scientists have warned the thin plastic shopping bags have been found in the stomachs of birds, sea turtles, sharks and fish. The bags block the animals ability to absorb nutrients and the die of malnutrition.


3. Replace your Styrofoam take out containers with eco-friendly corn based containers. They bio-degrade in a fraction of the time of Styrofoam. Contact your paper supplier to ask if they carry these products.


4. Check to see if the seafood you offer is sustainable. Your vendor should have this latest information or you can check the internet to find what fish are plentiful.


5. Place on the back of your menu all the steps you have taken to preserve our environment. This is not only wise space for the back of the menu but provides your diners with tips they can use at home.
