Way to go John! Congratulations!

You are eating and supporting a carbon neutral restaurant! How you ask? Read below.

Folino’s Pizza has developed the Folino’s Climate Change Initiative, alongside members of the 52 Kids foundation, in order to negate our carbon footprint based on the principles of carbon offsets. At Folino’s, our motto love your place goes beyond our pizza and our restaurant walls. We believe in the importance of businesses taking action to make a greater scale impact on climate change.

WHAT WE DO DAILY:

• Composting food residuals and paper products. Last year we composted over 10,000 pounds of food waste!

• Reduced lighting and LED lights

• Employees walking or taking the bus to work

• Reduced water dishwasher and energy efficient equipment

•Wood oven = wood heat! (we mostly rely on the heat from the ovens in the winter)

•Higher temperature setting for AC

OUR IMPACT - OUR FIX:

Step 1: We did some calculations to determine the amounts of CO2 our business produces. We looked at our utility bills, food sourcing, fuel for our van and our wood burning oven. We discovered that Folino’s currently generates roughly 100 metric tonnes of CO2 annually. We intend to offset this by planting trees in Uganda.

Step 2: Planting 5 trees is equivalent to 1 tonne of CO2 offset. Using 100 tonnes as our baseline, we calculated that we need to plant 500 trees a year to offset our carbon footprint. In order to make up for anything we might have missed, we increased that number and have committed to planting 5000 trees a year. Our goal is to have a positive effect on the environment to help combat climate change!

Folino’s will be planting 5,000 trees in Uganda per year, which will offset our overall emissions and benefit the region and it’s people who depend on trees for shade, food and temperature control.
