An initiative of St. Louis Earth Day, the Green Dining Alliance works with restaurants to reduce their environmental impact. Staff members Jaime and Olivia will introduce and explain the Alliance, give a bit of history, talk about why and how restaurants become certified, list the certified (and pending) restaurants, and explain how interested citizens/diners can get involved.
Jaime has a background in the restaurant industry, and a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering & Urban Policy and Planning. Olivia also has experience with food, both in restaurants and farmers' markets. Her goal is to help make St. Louis a national leader in sustainability.
