Sustainability

Choosing a plant-based diet -- even just one day a week -- is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint.

Animal agriculture is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the combined exhaust from all transportation

2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce 1 pound of beef

Livestock operations on land have created more than 500 nitrogen flooded deadzones around the world in our oceans



Sustainability has always been a focus for us

We send all of our vegetable and fruit waste to a local composter

We recycle waste from our operation (this is rare for businesses in Dallas because we have to pay for private pick up)

We use recycled paper products and environmentally friendly cleaning products in our kitchen.

We are diligent about food waste

But what about our containers?

We use ALL of these compostible items in our kitchen and stores:

Smoothie Cups, lids, and STRAWS

Utensils

Sample Cups

Salad (clear plastic) containers

More than half of our meal containers

The remainder of our containers are made from non-BPA recyclable plastic. 

Why not 100% compostible?  We’ve researched and tested compostible containers since we started our business years ago, and the technology and selection has improved but they are still not available in all the sizes we need.  We will continue on this path...
