Many businesses are scheming like mad to appear "greener" than their competitors... preferably at minimal cost.
Restaurants have a problem with the amount of food they have to throw away, making them look wasteful.
Much of it is the fault of customers not eating what they ordered, like chicks on a first date.
Of course some foods are left behind, much more than others... not much chocolate cake, lots of Brussels sprouts.
A lot those sprouts can be "recycled" as next month's ham & bacon, but a restaurant at Alton Towers has a better Idea.
Quote:
Bosses at an aquarium in the UK say they're planning to reduce waste this Christmas -- by feeding their fish leftover Brussels sprouts.
Staff say they stumbled on the finding that the fish have a 'surprising penchant' for the unpopular but festive vegetable.
As a result Alton Towers Resort have started recycling any left-over sprouts served in the hotel by dropping them in the tanks.
They say they're not sure of the impact the diet will have, or whether it will increase fishy flatulence but that they will 'monitor the situation'.

In the meantime no smoking, or open lights, near the fish jacuzzi... er, tank.
