How One Chicago Restaurant Went Totally Trash-Free



According to the Green Restaurant Association, the average restaurant in the U.S. produces 150,000 pounds of garbage each year. Café owner Justin Vrany thinks this number cannot only be reduced, but eliminated entirely. His Chicago-based eatery has produced an astonishing 8 gallons of garbage in the last two years. According to Vrany, that bag of trash was recently picked up by a local artist, who will transform it into a sculpture -- now making Sandwich Me In a zero-waste restaurant.
