Heidi – I have to admit that I take the easy way out and buy Method products (at Target) and Seventh Generation products. I’ve converted to their bathroom cleaner, window/glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, and dusting products. I even use Method’s biodegradable floor wipes on my wood floors. I’ve stopped using paper towels to clean and switched to sponges and microfiber cloths. I wish I made my own baking soda/vinegar/you-name-it mixtures, but I’m trying…

I know…it totally sucks because from a restaurant standpoint because the finacial cost of recycling that much waste is way more than putting it into the regular trash for Waste Management or another large trash company. When I worked for the Ritz, we were starting a Going Green Group and we looked into the prices of having such a service and it required more equipment, storage (which was impossible to find!), separate containers, retraining, etc. It is really a shame that something that helps the enivironment so much (just think of all of the waste from every hotel or restaurant in the world) is mostly unattainable because it would make a serious deduction from the bottom line.
