Project Green Fork contributes to a sustainable Mid-South by helping reduce environmental impacts, with a focus on strengthening homegrown restaurants.

PGF certifies restaurants as practicing sustainability based on these six steps:

• Have sustainable products in place

• Set-up recycling program

• Kitchen composting

• Replace toxic cleaners with non-toxic cleaners

• Complete energy audit and take necessary steps to reduce energy and water consumption

"I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our
resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?"
