How sustainable is your favourite restaurant?

Sustainability is on the minds of a growing number of people but until recently the hotel and restaurant sector has not been renowned for its high levels of environmental awareness. Now, following the launch of a new sustainability information and vetting system for restaurants in March 2010, this perception is changing.

The Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) is a not-for-profit organisation, which encourages restaurants to become as sustainable as possible and publicly recognises their achievements through bronze, silver or gold awards. Customers can then make more informed choices about where they eat out.
