ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Jose Duarte is the chef and owner of Boston's Taranta restaurant.
Initially, Jose made a few energy efficiency updates for the benefit of
saving some money on his utility bills. But once he saw just exactly how
much his energy bills were dropping, he knew he had to keep going! So
he continued adopting more and more changes that soon made Taranta one
of Boston's top eco-friendly eateries. As a Boston Business Award
recipients, this father, husband, and entrepreneur has some helpful tips
for all restaurant owners who are looking to save money & improve
the quality of their employee's and their patron's lives.
DIG DEEPER
- The most effective way of showing
your support for green restaurants is to give them your business. Locate
a green restaurant in your area-- or encourage a local restaurant to go
green-- by visiting the Green Restaurant Association website.
- For their size and sales, restaurants have the highest energy expenditure in comparison to other businesses. Find ways to save energy and the environment at Cooler Connection (tips brought to you by Coca-Cola.)
- There are plenty of changes you can make to green your home kitchen. These include purchasing Energy Star and Water Sense equipment (and check for government rebates), "greening your sink," and composting to divert your waste from a shrinking landfill.
- As obvious as it may be, remembering to only order what you can finish eating is an easy way to minimize your ecological footprint.
