April 06 2010 - 11:35AM
Green Globe International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:GGII), the worldwide
owner of the Green Globe brand, today released the April 2010
edition of its corporate newsletter featuring an interview with
celebrated chefs and restaurant owner/operators Mary Sue Milliken
and Susan Feniger at their Ciudad restaurant in downtown Los
Angeles, California.
The April 2010 Green Globe newsletter has been added to the
company's website at http://www.greenglobeint.com/articles/1 and a
text only version will be distributed to subscribers of the
company's website-based mailing list.
Green Globe was introduced to the chefs, who have long been
champions of the environment and sustainability programs in their
restaurants, through its partnership to deliver a green business
certification program for the City of Los Angeles. The
certification program was announced at a press event hosted by Mary
Sue and Susan at their Ciudad restaurant in downtown Los Angeles,
California. In addition to Ciudad, their restaurants include
the popular and critically acclaimed Border Grill in Santa Monica,
California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Ms. Feniger also owns STREET
restaurant in Los Angeles.
Business partners for over 25 years, Mary Sue and Susan are
authors of five cookbooks and have been featured on television,
including almost 400 episodes of their popular Food Network series
"Too Hot Tamales" and "Tamales World Tour." In addition,
Border Grill and Ciudad dishes starred in the 2001 Samuel Goldwyn
feature film, "Tortilla Soup." Susan is also appearing as a
contestant in the upcoming Season 2 of Bravo's "Top Chef Masters"
series, which features world-renowned chefs competing in cooking
challenges with the prize money going to the chefs' charities of
choice.
The interview with Green Globe International took place at
Ciudad in March 2010 and focused on the sustainability programs in
place at Ciudad, including participation in the Monterey Bay
Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program, Oceana's Stop Seafood
Contamination campaign, the Humane Society's "Protect Seals"
Campaign, Ciudad's own "Good for the Planet, Good for You" program,
the elimination of glass and plastic water bottles, and the use of
hormone and antibiotics free, organic, locally grown ingredients
whenever possible. More information on these programs can be found
at www.ciudad-la.com/ciu_sus.htm.
In the interview, Mary Sue and Susan discuss their experience in
launching sustainability programs at their restaurants, the
economic impact, how the programs may differ from one restaurant to
another, and the benefits that they have seen and expect to
see from adopting these programs.
Green Globe International CEO and Managing Director Steven R.
Peacock said, "It was a great pleasure to sit down and discuss
restaurant sustainability with Mary Sue and Susan, who are so
firmly committed to protecting the environment. Theirs is such an
important perspective as business owners operating in a highly
competitive market, and we believe that the observations made in
this interview will be helpful to the countless number of business
owners around the world who are considering sustainability programs
but are unsure of how to start and the potential impact on their
businesses."
The Green Globe brand and program, which traces its roots back
to the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992 where 182
Heads of State endorsed the Agenda 21 principles of Sustainable
Development, has primarily been used in the travel and tourism
industry but is now being expanded to include a growing number of
environmentally responsible businesses in a variety of market
sectors. The Green Globe brand is an ideal symbol for the world's
increasing awareness of environmental responsibility and response
to global climate change.
