Eat, Drink, and Be Eco-Friendly


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters order food once a week through GrubHub.com instead of another service, we'll offset the weight of 7.5 elephants in CO2 emissions.

Cocktail Tidbit
In 2001, Pizza Hut sent a salami pie to Yuri Usachov, a Russian cosmonaut living on the International Space Station, by way of a Russian supply rocket.

Delivery-noodles merriment dampened by eco-guilt? We hear ya - emissions from delivery trucks and disposable to-go containers aren't doing the earth any favors. GrubHub.com to the rescue. This Chicago-based restaurant online delivery guide urges peeps to skip the plastic utensils and paper napkins, and recently started purchasing carbon credits to offset its greenhouse gas emissions, helping you support reforestation projects and energy efficiency when you order up your favorite Pad Thai or pizza (hello, sausage-'shroom from Piece). To boot, it won't cost you an extra dime: Menu prices for the 2,000 participating restaurants are staying put...just one more reason to make merry.

Wanna Try?
GrubHub.com. Food and delivery charges vary according to restaurant.
