Restaurants go green: GRA makes environmental decisions easier, step by step

摘要

When the National Restaurant Association created a task force to implement its environmental initiative last May, the goal was to encourage the 935,000 U.S. restaurants to conserve natural resources. In an industry worth 537 billion dollar, the initiative hopes to identify practices that conserve energy, water and other natural resources. The NRA says simple tasks like recycling along with more involved ones, like using sustainable materials and alternative energy sources, would also reduce restaurants' operational costs.
