Is Green really the new Black? According to most individuals today, it has recieved a huge growth in our society in the past decade for many reasons such as the human impact on earth causing a lot of chaos in the enviorment and waste in the world. The food industry has jumped on the band wagon big time on this issue. Sean Meenan, a resturant owner in Brooklyn, is turning green but keeping it modest. He wants to show the national impact that a resturant can do with reducing its carbon footprint while still being a hip and cool resturant to be at. He also pays it forward by offering kids workshops host student tours for non-profits like Girls Inc. and gives jobs to teenagers to support academic and sports programs serving on the board called Greenwich Village Youth Council, a non-profit organization as well.
This story inspires me because it makes me believe that incorporating service can come from anywhere and develop. It also can do great things like have blue and white cells for solar panels that gives electricity to close buildings when his resturant uses less energy. Whether you are a local resturantier and want to do this great idea in Denver or a student who wants to spread the message of being green and apprechiating the enviorment and earth, you can do all of this. Whatever those dreams or thoughts are for living a eco-friendly lifestyle, own your optimism and create the vision you see to keep believing in your inner wisdom.
