Six Green Intentions

1. RADIUS 150

Our intention is to use food resources within a radius of 150 miles. Our partnerships with local farms and suppliers support the growth and availability of fresh whole foods-raised, grown and harvested sustainably—positively impacting our health and supporting our local economy.

 

 

2. WASTE NOT WANT NOT

Our intention is to promote and practice waste reduction, reuse and recycling in our operations to help in sustaining our natural resources and diverting waste from landfills.

 

 

3. BUY SMART

Our intention is to engage in the positive, ethical buying of products and services, aiming to enrich local communities. We challenge ourselves to be responsible for our environmental effects and accountable for our environmental impact.

 

 

4. WALL TO WALL
Our intention is to provide a healthy environment for our patrons and staff and minimize our environmental footprint to help protect our finite natural resources. We strive to implement sustainable practices where physically feasible.

 

 

5. AROUND THE COMMUNITY

Our intention is to support causes in our local community and around the world. We seek opportunities to get involved and to have a positive and meaningful impact.

 

 

6. DAILY COMMUTE          
Our intention is to reduce fuel use and emissions across our transportation practices. We look to new technologies and better alternatives for improving our operations. We cooperate with suppliers, vehicle manufactures and other organizations to improve our efficiencies.
