~Hello Everyone :) ~
So, for this Eye Opener, I wanted to do something outside-of-the-box and something different. So I was agonizing over some crazy thing to do and get into, but then it hit me..."I work at one of the most evironmentally friendly places in Duluth"..Duuuuhhh!!
So here, I am on my soap box about Amazing Grace Bakery & Cafe!! If you havent yet, please come check it out someday soon. Its just an easy and enjoyable drive down to beautiful Canal Park. And like I said, we really strive to be environmentally friendly in all aspects of our business. It is a topic stressed heavily at all meetings as well as the theme on many random paper reminders floating around the whole restaurant. Since taking this class, I have really oened my eyes to all we do there pertaining to the environment, and it has helped me to appreciate where I work just that much more.
I took just a couple pictures of some of the big acts we perform to ensure our helping hand in loving the environment instead of hurting it, but there are so many little ways we do things at Amazing Grace that I did not talk about that are making strides in the right direction. So, if you ever come down, take a minute to look around and notice ways in which it is run that help us run a more "green" restaurant.
~Hope to see you there soon!!~
*We proudly serve organic, fair trade Alakef coffee, locally roasted right by Walgreens.
*We have containers available and clearly labled for recyclable objects, you can't miss them!!
*VERY random, but we grow our own grass :) These cute little cups are enlightening every table!
*On each of our to-go cups, there is a little info about environmental issues.
*We get our tomatoes from Bay Produce, which is a local business just across the bridge in Superior, WI.
*In the center of the restaurant, we have an island that contains sugar, napkins, silverware, etc. The sides of this island contain slots where customers put their newspapers after they are finished reading them, available for anyone who does not want to buy a new paper :)
Ok, so I know there is quite a bit goin on here, but I have merely just begun to scratch the surface of what we do here at Grace. I hope you all enjoyed this little insight to my second home, and thank you for taking the time to get to know us a little better :)

Samantha,
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Your work is really on top of things! I laughed about how it took you a while to realize that you work at a super eco-friendly place lol. But the pics look great! Oh, and I like how you guys grow your own grass haha.
Sam-
ReplyDeleteI never knew Amazing Grace was so environmentally-friendly! Good job!
Great job Samantha! I think it is way cool that your work is so environmentally friendly. All of the things that your mentioned that they do sound really cool. I especially like that Grace buys its tomatoes and coffee locally. I just went their this weekend, and I noticed other things that you guys do that you didn't even mention. I am so glad that Grace is doing its part to save the environment! Way to go for working there. It must really be cool working there while you are in this class. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love Amazing Grace (it's one of my favorite places in Duluth), and knowing the business is so environmentally-conscious just encourages me to support it even more!
ReplyDeleteSam,
ReplyDeleteI really want to eat there now! haha I'm glad your work is taking steps to become environmentally friendly=) I like the to go cups with the environmental facts on them! Very cool.
I think I will stop by to watch the grass grow. That's a cool touch to the store, plant life always puts people in a better mood and tends to bring out a sort of well-being feeling. Nice work Sam!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your essay Sam! I have never been to amazing grace before but now that I know how dedicated to the environment they are it sound like a good place to support. Its really cool that your work is setting such a good example, hopefully other resturants will catch on soon! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job with this Sam!! Have a good one!

Great post Samantha!
ReplyDeleteI've never even heard of this place before. It's good to see places like this are being environmentally friendly, if only most coffee shop could do the same! I will definitely keep Amazing Grace in mind now, and hopefully I get to go there soon.
