Detroit restaurants will participate in an “Eat for Impact” initiative during the month of September by adding at least two pro-climate dishes to their menus to help reduce the city’s environmental footprint. So far, seven restaurants have signed up, with more expected.
After September, a comprehensive climate report will be published highlighting the greenhouse gas savings from all participants. Restaurants currently signed up include Yum Village, IVY Kitchen + Cocktails, Parc, Detroit People's Food Co-op, Brooklyn Street Local, Avalon Café & Bakery, and M Cantina.
The program is being led by local community leaders with the support of Planted Society, an organization that describes itself as helping people build a more sustainable food system worldwide.
