Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Recycling
Mission: Project green fork contributes to a sustainable mid-south by helping reduce environmental impacts, with a focus on strengthening homegrown restaurants. Project green fork certifies restaurants as practicing sustainability based on six steps: have sustainable products in place, set-up recycling programs, kitchen composting, replace toxic cleaners with non-toxic cleaners, complete energy audit and take necessary steps to reduce energy and water consumption,and pollution prevention.
Programs: Project green fork is the only organization in town helping restaurants reduce their environmental impact. We set up recycling programs and compost programs for each of the restaurants we are currently working with. To date we have certified over 80 locally owned and operated restaurants, of these 57 remain certified. This keeps tons of trash out of our landfills. We help restaurants resource non-toxic cleaners and non styrofoam to-go food containers as well as look for ways through energy audits that they can reduce their water and energy consumption.
