Our Standards
green
is
more than just our name. It also
stands for the way we do business. What we have done:
installed an
energy efficient thermal roof barrier to reduce energy consumption,
reused an existing circa 1896 structure to help revitalize an area of
downtown. green
has also reused the majority of its restaurant equipment from
refrigerators to booths/tables. green has a
recycling dumpster for cardboard, a large bike
rack, fair trade organic coffee, free range eggs,
uses biodegradable packaging when possible, and will eventually install
a cistern to
capture rainwater for landscape maintenance. We have free wifi and
plenty of places to plug in your power cord.
green will be a part of San
Antonio’s
transition from one of the fattest cities to one of the fittest cities.
Our goal is to occupy a smaller footprint and be a more sustainable
