Green-Pizza - mmmmmm pizza!!
How does Green Pizza sound? Probably not very appetizing, unless it has spinach on it! It turns out Pete Bonahoom has spotted a business opportunity and has created eco-friendly Galactic Pizza in Minneapolis.
What makes his pizza business green?
* His drivers deliver pizza in rechargeable electric cars
* The mozzarella comes from cows not treated by growth hormones
* Hemp is used as an ingredient and for the paper menus
* Use packaging that is made from recycled materials
* In season, they purchase local produce
To top things off, his drivers dress up as superheroes, like Captain Awesome, Shark Girl or the Veggie Avenger.
The tag line for Galactic Pizza is, “Pizza with a conscience”.
From the Galactic Pizza website:
At Galactic Pizza we have a positive vision of the future on our planet. We see a world that lacks the greed and self centeredness that has led use into the chaotic state that we see today. We see a world full of cooperation, sustainability, and harmony with our surroundings.
In order to help achieve this positive vision, we strive to be the perfect example of what is called a values led company. This means that we realize that we have a responsibility to the people and community that make our existence possible. In order to fulfill this responsibility, we seek to maximize our impact by integrating as many socially beneficial actions into our day to day operations as possible. By incorporating a concern for the community–local, national, and global–our restaurant can make positive impact on the world in which it operates.

You need to talk about the re-chargeable electric cars. I really want a re-chargeable electric car and I am having a hard time finding one. What kind of cars does he drive? Where did he get them?
