Veg Restaurants

​Make Sustainable Choices While Eating Out

Eating Sustainably includes supporting restaurants that use sustainable practices. Now many restaurants offer plant-based menu options. Farm-to-table restaurants that source local fruits, vegetables and food made by local producers are popping up. Beyond food choices, look for eateries that don't use plastic straws, styrofoam takeout containers and other disposables that damage our environment. And if they still use these items, ask them to reconsider.
