The Portsmouth Gaslight Restaurant is the inaugural member in the addition of restaurants to the program. The restaurant reduces its waste by recycling, controls hazardous waste by properly disposing of fluorescent lighting, conserves water with water saving pre-rinse devices and offering water upon request. The restaurant also plans to investigate additional energy efficiency initiatives suggested in energy audits. |

The Portsmouth Brewery conserves energy through the use of energy efficient lighting and ventilation. Water conservation is also addressed with low-flow pre-rinse devices and water provided to guests on request. The restaurant also recycles paper, plastics, glass, aluminum and tin, while reducing waste by using cloth napkins and washable dinnerware. The restaurant employs a green team approach to come up with new ideas for sustainability, including feedback from guests and employees. |

The Amherst Country Club is the midst of an energy audit and will implement energy efficient lighting proposals within the next year. They are also beginning to heat their maintenance building with their used motor oil. They conserve water through early morning landscape watering when necessary and landscaping with native plants. They reduce waste via recycling, using biodegradable single use containers that they compost, including local product in their menus and purchasing products with post-consumer content. They have eliminated the use of hazardous outdoors and are a Certified Audubon Sanctuary. |
