Thimmakka Certified Green Restaurants started out with the aim of conducting outreach to ethnic restaurants and quickly transmogrified to Thimmakka Certified Green Restaurants. Today Thimmakka Certified Green Restaurants [TCGR] conducts culturally and economically appropriate environmental outreach to Indian, Pakistani, Persian, Burmese, Afghani, Thai, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Mediterranean, African -American and Chinese restaurants and bakeries.

Why Restaurants? Restaurants are the greatest consumers of energy per square foot than any other industry in the U.S. They are also the largest producers of recyclable and compostable solid waste (generally 83% of their solid waste is divertable). Restaurants are very high consumers of water due to their high customer traffic, and large scale cooking requirements. They are significant producers of grease and oil that pollute stormwater, which injures fish and can lead to beach closures.
