Fool Others That You Are Going Green: Get Help From PG Restaurant
Passionfish owner Cindy Walter and the California Restaurant Association, Monterey County Health Department, Environmental Health Division Stormwater & Education Alliance will present a free “Green Business and Storm Water Education Workshop,”
Walter’s Pacific Grove restaurant is Monterey County’s first certified green restaurant, with a strict purchase policy that includes sustainable, organic, reusable, and recyclable products. The business has also instituted a number of economical and environmentally-friendly business practices that include creative reuse of business supplies and the use of natural, chemical-free cleaning supplies.
I call B.S. You should see the mountains of landfill-destined garbage and rubbish that this restaurant generates. Look at the grease encroaching the sidewalk leaking from their overflowing dumpster. See the other trash cans blocking the sidewalk. This “green” business practices is a farce.

Passionfish Sustains The Rats
Politics, sheesh
Assembly member John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, today named “green” restaurateur Cindy Walter of Pacific Grove as Woman of the Year for the 27th Assembly District.
Walter and her husband own Passionfish restaurant, the first officially “green” restaurant in Monterey County.
As the first officially “green” restaurant in Monterey County, Passionfish sets an example with a strict policy of sustainable and environmentally friendly purchasing. The staff is knowledgeable about this issue and how it affects what the restaurant uses and serves. Bon Appetit Magazine recognized the Walters as ‘sustainable seafood experts,’ in the “Best of 2006” cover focus published in January 2007.
Yah, save the dolphins, wash the spinach, sustain the raccoons. But what about the poor humans that live near the restaurant? They get blight and blocked sidewalks in the form of way too much trash generated by the first officially “green” restaurant that sends this much trash to the landfill.

At Least It Will Sustain P.G. Raccoons
plus rats, mice, gulls and other vermin. P.G.’s businesses try and keep costs down by not paying for trash bins large enough for all the garbage they create. Some even cram the sidewalk cans with their business garbage.
This is particularly bad
Must belong to Sea Breeze Motel.
Lots of garbage on the ground –
Juice N Java still sustains a fire hazard
And Lighthouse Cafe offers a little waste wheely loaded with 50% more than it’s made for, fire hazard bin and barrel of grease.
Dumpsters Of Commerce: Hello, Code Enforcement?
Blog entry from March about P.G. Juice n Java piling trash in the planter box next to the overflowing dumpster.
Box with address.
It’s still there, though in a BIG way.
Notice on dumpster fence
Pallets, paper and cardboard. Certainly combustible. So, does this qualify as an “accumulation”? Or does LBAM Moth spray fireproof rubbish?
P.G. Juice N Java Trashes Trees
Seen this for a couple of weeks – A pile of garbage in a planter that is next to a dumpster on 16th street. After a few days a box with an address shows who the litterbug is – PG Juice n Java.
