- Meat scraps go to a CCI (Carnivore Conservation Institute), a non-profit carnivore rescue center, to help feed wolves, lions, tigers, and many others.
- Oil used in fryers is converted to biodiesel fuel for trucks.
- Water usage has been decreased by 6,000 gallons a day.
- Energy consumption has been reduced by 8% by installing energy-efficient equipment & controls.
- The Pavillion was built from reclaimed materials dating back to the 1600’s.
