Boloco The environment is important. Everyone knows that. At Boloco, we try to
do our part. Every day. In little ways. It’s not about being “green”
(and certainly not about being Certified Green, which we are and which
we are proud of, but is not the point). It’s simply about using our
restaurants to make our planet a better place. Today, it’s compostable
cups and bowls. It’s naturally-raised meats and organic tofu. It’s
recycling and reusing building materials. Even stuff like LED lighting,
low-flow water heads, and Paperstone tabletops and countertops make a
difference today. Tomorrow, who knows – the list will only grow. One
thing that we do know, we’ll be there. Quietly leading the pack and
slowly blazing the trail. Doing our part to help the earth without
making a big deal of it. One baby step at a time. One burrito at a time.
