The national non-profit Green Restaurant Association (GRA) and the New York State Restaurant Association (NYSRA) have announced their official partnership in greening New York’s restaurants.
With GRA’s 19 years as the industry standard for Certified Green Restaurants and with NYSRA providing leadership for New York state restaurants for more than 70 years, this partnership is the most significant move to date in helping to create an environmentally sustainable restaurant industry.
The partnership between GRA and NYSRA was facilitated through the efforts of Gov. David A. Paterson’s Green Hospitality & Tourism initiative to coordinate green certification and additional assistance for hospitality industry businesses in the Empire State. The effort is being led by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
