"Who we are is defined by our community. Our community is defined by who we are."
To participate legitimately in a community, we must make it our primary
responsibility to share in our community's health and well-being.
This is the heartfelt goal of this restaurant and every person on
this wonderful staff!
In July of 2003, we began a pilot program directed by the City of Seattle and King County using a commercial worm bin to compost our coffee grounds and clean kitchen scraps into soil for use in our spectacular garden! We keep a "diary" of our progress and work with King County's Waste Reduction & Recycling Department, who help us monitor our beloved wigglin' critters. Our hope is that someday, other restaurants like ourselves will come on board with similar programs to help reduce waste in Seattle's landfills and our planet.
We also separate and recycle our glass, paper, tin, cardboard, plastic, and aluminum. Virtually all of our furnishings, equipment, dishware, silverware, glassware, and cookware is secondhand.
The restaurant industry creates immeasurable amounts of waste each year. Fast food restaurants are the major contributors, but this fact does not absolve us of our responsibility. We must be conscientious. We must strive to be a part of the solution, not the problem!
Thank you for eating responsibly!
