How Do We Become Green?

Becoming green does not happen overnight.  It is a process with many different aspects, from solid waste reduction to the use of earth-friendly materials.

One easy way for a restaurant to start the process of “going green” is by recycling the waste fryer oil with a company that recycles it directly into renewable fuels.  This demonstrates an interest in environmental stewardship, but requires very little effort.  This step: 1) helps reduce our country’s dependence on foreign oil,  2) reduces the overall CO2 output of the engine reducing the effect on global climate change , and 3) is a step towards sustainability and taking responsibility for our actions on this planet.
