Ted Turner Promotes Green Restaurants. By Bruce Horovitz, USA Today, May 18, 2008. "Ted Turner, the media mogul turned philanthropist, now wants to be known as... a guy whose restaurants leave a smaller carbon footprint on the environment. Which is why you won't find a plastic straw or cup in any of Ted's Montana Grills' 55 casual dining restaurants. The straws are made from biodegradable paper. The menus are printed on 100% recycled paper. Even the cups are cornstarch... Turner is helping to fund a green restaurant initiative that the powerful National Restaurant Association will unveil Monday at its annual convention in Chicago. The purpose: to nudge owners of the nation's 945,000 restaurants to think about controlling energy use and waste creation."
