Protect the Environment, Encourage Restaurants to GO GREEN

Protect the Environment, Encourage Restaurants to GO GREEN

The Issue

Restaurants produce far more garbage on a daily basis than most other retail businesses. A typical restaurant generates 100,000 pounds of garbage per location per year, the Green Restaurant Association estimates. With technology at our disposal CarryOutDirectory.com came up with KooPons! an internet-based menu and coupons system for restaurants. Now restaurant owners can create and manage their menus and coupons online all FREE of charge, this is CarryOutDirectory.com's way of supporting the restaurant industry's GO GREEN initiative.

With this system in place this can drastically reduce or totally eliminate the restaurant industry's need for printed menus and coupons and significantly reducing its carbon footprint on mother earth.

Imagine the implications for global warming if we get the whole restaurant industry to go green. If the restaurant industry can dial down the enormous environmental damage it does daily even slightly, it would be huge. There are 945,000 restaurants across the US, if we can get those menus and coupons online instead of paper imagine what impact that would be on the environment.

CarryOutDirectory.com truly believes there is a way for restaurants to earn GREEN while GOING GREEN!

Angelo LeanoPetition StarterI am a techie and wanted to volunteer my time and ability in putting together a system that can make a difference in the way restaurants do business. This project started out as a personal need because there was no resource out there I could really use to get restaurant information all in one centralized location. But as years went by developing this project I have come to learn more about the restaurant industry and the impact it has on the environment. So with that in mind I shifted focus and geared towards supporting the restaurant industry's GO GREEN initiative by putting together KooPons! an online menu and coupons management tool for restaurants. It is a FREE service that restaurant owners can use to create and manage their menus and coupons online, the goal is to get them to use the system so they minimize or totally eliminate the need for printed menus and coupons.
