Do you really care about the environment or more of the marketing that comes with "going green" or both?

Hi Everyone, Laughing

I own a business distributing disposable biodegradable dinnerware (to-go containers, cups, plates). I'm curious to know what you guys feel about carrying these products in your restaurant? Do you really care about the environment or more of the marketing that comes with "going green" or both?
I'm trying to better my business for my customers and really try to meet their needs as best I can. Also, it would be most helpful if you can tell us how many containers you go through a day, size of your restaurant and location.
I'm from Los Angeles, and in beach cities like Santa Monica and Malibu, its city law to carry biodegradable containers.
Thanks so much guys! Razz

Nevin Weeks, Here is some biodegradable cutlery that you may be able to distribute that is NOT made in China. Don't get me wrong, I love Chinese PPL and culture. I just don't like the way the government acts, the abuse of animals, the way Chinese PPL are treated, lack of standards for food shipped here, and the huge carbon footprint shipping cheap junk from China when Americans can't find work:

Well, your suggestions sound good except for China affection Razz

No - no affection - I just don't blame the Chinese PPL or the culture for the evil deeds of the government or greedy businesses.

Great posts Nevin Weeks! Keep the interest going on the forum....
