Ok… so Chipotle has gone green! I’m so excited… Their store in Gurnee, Illinois is LEED Silver-certified. LEED certified means “energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.” Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? To find out more go to the United States Green Building Council website.

They’ll have a wind turbine on site to generate electricity, use recycled drywall and barn metal for the building itself, and lots of other goodies for conserving water and energy. A round of applause! And I love their burritos to boot!
