Those under age 35 were more likely than older people to say it was important for restaurants to use organic foods and to pay fees to reduce their ecological footprints. Women were much more likely than men to say it was important for restaurants to donate to environmental projects.
 Participants had one thing in common; they all agreed that the quality of food was most important for them. They were not willing to compromise quality to eat at a green restaurant.

The responses clearly indicated that if people knew which restaurants were green, they would consider visiting them. Restaurants that are truly green should look to get certified by third-party non-profit organizations such as LEAF (Leaders in Environmentally Accountable Foodservice) to show customers of their commitment and avoid greenwashing.
