"By implementing steps from the Conserve program, we reduced our electrical and gas bill by about 4% - when you’re paying $10,000/month, that’s quite a sum.” 

- Greg Aardal, The Angus Barn ltd, 
Participant in the National Restaurant Association's Conserve Sustainability Education Program

"I’m not really a green person, but I am. I also like money and that’s green. Owning a restaurant is like a hole in your pocket, so it really helps to conserve when you should. ”

- Joey Terrell, Owner of a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) registered restaurant and Participant in the National Restaurant Association’s Conserve Sustainability Education Program

Why Use the Program

Why not? You can save money, save resources, gain new customers, and know that you’re doing the right thing for the environment. 

Restaurants use about 5-7 times more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings, such as office buildings and retail stores. High volume quick-service restaurants (QSRs) may even use up to 10 times more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings.  Restaurants can reduce their environmental impact by making simple and easy changes throughout their operation.  Now, with the Conserve Sustainability Education Program, restaurant owners are discovering how to reduce their environmental footprint.
