Fighting climate change: California restaurants will increase prices

As part of the fight against climate change, California restaurants can join the Restore California Renewable Restaurant program and add an 1% fee to the bill. Writes Fox NewsThe collected money will go to support environmentally friendly farming methods.

The collection is voluntary for both restaurants and customers. Anthony Myint — owner of the popular Mission Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District and founder of the nonprofit Perennial Farming initiative — added a 3% so-called carbon neutrality premium to the bill and raised nearly $20 in six months.

“The problem of climate change is widespread, and the future generation has no chance of avoiding it. As chefs, we want to do the right thing and buy organic food, but farms are failing,” says Myint.

Visitors to Mission Chinese pay 10-15 cents more, thereby offsetting the carbon dioxide consumption of the restaurant. According to Miinta, 25 restaurants worldwide are participating in a carbon neutral program. The initiative should attract money for farmers so that they can stop using chemical pesticides and introduce best practices for the development of farms.

“If every restaurant did this, we would raise $1 billion annually,” Myint said, noting that if just 1 in 100 California restaurants adopted the program, farmers could receive $10 million a year.

“I think clients feel free to waive the fee if they don't believe in climate change or are on a budget or for some other reason. That’s why it’s not mandatory, but just a few cents for each of us is an effective fight against climate change,” Myint said.

Restore California Renewable Restaurants will begin throughout the state in the fall.

Note that many restaurants in San Francisco use a system of allowances for regular customers to cover the cost of health insurance and sick leave for their employees.
