From the Restaurant Site...
” We at Celilo Restaurant and Bar are committed to a healthy and sustainable future. To achieve our goals of responsible business ownership, we focus on one critical aspect of what we do.
“LOCAL Local started out as a mantra regarding the purchasing of our ingredients in the kitchen. The reasons there are obvious. We source high quality, fresh food, grown miles from our doorstep. We make every attempt to buy naturally raised products and organic products when available.
“But other considerations have since come up. We also pay attention to our output. We reuse or recycle all of our glass, plastic, paper, aluminum and tin. We use unbleached paper sourced from consumer recycled fiber. And we compost all our vegetable and coffee grounds. We convert our used vegetable oils into bio-diesel that we burn in the company car.
“Supporting the local economy helps us in turn. We want our producers to use environmentallysound agriculture and sustainable farming practices. They produce great food that is healthy. The fossil fuel impact is minimal. And we benefit from the superior product grown in a safe living environment. Each small step is important. We know you will taste the difference. And with a concerted effort, our children will too.”
