OUR MISSION

Sustainable Dining, Responsibly Served

We are an organization comprised of individuals and home-grown businesses who want to take care of our planet but know that it begins by committing to community care. We aim to promote sustainable practices throughout Nevada. We believe in the importance of individual and communal responsibility when working towards a better, greener, and more sustainable future. And we believe the most significant change comes when we start with our local community.

WE ARE GREEN DINING NEVADA

Our Mission

Everyone has to eat, yet roughly 1/3 of the world’s food goes to waste. The land, water, and natural resources needed to produce our essential meals are being threatened at a rapid rate, while pollution from single-use materials is growing.

Our Solution

Because we all need to eat, this means we all can play a part in the solution – three times a day. By developing habits to at home, at the store, and at our restaurants, we can make a difference.

Our Goals

Our goals for year one are to get 30 restaurants and 300 customers involved in the local movement for sustainable dining. By building a strong foundation, we can ensure a cleaner and greener future for our community.
