green

We know what you’re thinking, and no, that’s not the only way hydroponics come into play. Hydroponic is a combination of the Latin word “hydro” meaning water, and “pono” which means to put into, so in this case, to put into water (as opposed to soil.)

They say it’s not easy being green. But, honestly, it’s gotten easier lately, especially with so many great restaurants making efforts to operate sustainably. But these days it’s more than just serving foods sourced from local, organic farms. Sustainability in 2012 is about designing an efficient, eco-friendly environment, reducing waste, recycling, composting, using biodegradable products when possible, conserving water and generally paying more attention to one’s impact on the environment.
