I found this article on the guardian website just now. Last week the sustainable restaurant association was launched in London. "The brainchild of, among others, Henry Dimbleby of the seasonal fast food chain Leon, restaurateur Mark Sainsbury and Giles Gibbons of the corporate social responsibility consultancy Good Business, the SRA is an ambitious project. It wants to get as many of Britain's 30,000 restaurants as possible to become members by ticking a set of sustainability criteria listed under 14 specific areas. They cover everything from the ethical sourcing of ingredients, through water usage, energy policy, responsibility to staff and the community to the mundanity of things like packaging and paper recycling." However, all a restaurant needs to join is to fulfill 3 out of 100 of the criteria, which makes MacDonalds eligible.
Following the post, there are plenty of comments from people on the article. This is particularly interesting to me because I imagine the website as also being a place that can recommend sustainable restaurants for people to eat out at.
