We don’t send anything to the landfill anymore; we’re completely free of any trash collection. This is less expensive than having regular trash pickup. I have four children, and I don’t want to leave them a mess. And we wanted to be a more environmentally friendly restaurant. If a restaurant of our size — about 250 seats — could do it, just about anybody could do it.

Harry Browne’s owner Rusty Romo from Annapolis Restaurant Sends Nothing to Landfill:

In 2009, the city began a free certification program for environmentally friendly businesses. This designation gives the businesses bragging rights, but also promotion through the Downtown Annapolis Partnership, which encourages people to shop at local businesses.

The list includes Rich Morton Lincoln Mercury of Annapolis, which uses a waste oil furnace to heat buildings in the winter; the Georgian House Bed and Breakfast for its use of biodegradable cleaning products and the Loews Hotel restaurant Breeze, which donates leftover food to soup kitchen. There are nearly 30 businesses on the list.

What is your city doing to care for the Earth?
