The iconic Bloor Street Diner is the first restaurant in Canada to join the Green on Tap initiative to reduce bottled water waste.
By
using an on-premise premium water filtration system, the Bloor Street
Diner can offer patrons all the options of bottled water – chilled,
chilled sparkling or ambient – served in reusable bottles.
It is projected this initiative will reduce the number of bottles transported by approximately 12,000 bottles each year.
In addition to reducing waste, this effort will reduce storage and
refrigeration costs as well as the diner’s carbon footprint since
(depending on the brand) bottled water is transported from across the
country, continent or, in some cases, the globe.
The Green on Tap initiative was created by Eatertainment Hospitality Inc.
to encourage restaurants, hotels and other food industry businesses to
offer patrons filtered water as an alternative to bottled water. Each
participant in the program will donate $1 from each bottle sold to Evergreen,
a national charity currently transforming the Don Valley Brick Works
into an environmental community centre and national hub for urban
sustainability in the heart of the Toronto ravine system.
