GRA provides restaurants with green certification program




Kermit the Frog sang "It's Not Easy Being Green," but with restaurants, going green is something that could save them money and create good will among their client base.

I recently found the Green Restaurant Association web site with its seven standards for meeting its full certification program. Below are the seven standards that the GRA evaluate:

1, Water Effciency
2. Waste Reduction and Recycling
3. Sustainable Furnishings and Building Materials
4. Sustainable Food
5. Energy
6. Disposables
7. Chemical and Pollution Reduction


Restaurants who want to download the standards for their green progran should visit this link.

With the cost of energy as well as a continued government pursuit of green initiatives, smart restaurant owners will remain ahead of the curve on this standard.
