I ran across this website today. Yes, you read right -
of Uptown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Their Vision Statement says it all:
"Vision of the Future
At
Galactic Pizza we have a positive vision of the future on our planet. We see a world that lacks the greed and self centeredness that has led use into the chaotic state that we see today. We see a world full of cooperation, sustainability, and harmony with our surroundings.
In order to help achieve this positive vision, we strive to be the perfect example of what is called a values led company. This means that we realize that we have a responsibility to the people and community that make our existence possible. In order to fulfill this responsibility, we seek to maximize our impact by integrating as many socially beneficial actions into our day to day operations as possible. By incoporating a concern for the community--local, national, and global--our restaurant can make positive impact on the world in which it operates.
Here are a few of the values led activities we are currently engaging in:
-Weather permitting, our food is delivered to your door by 100% electric vehicles.
-All of the power purchased to run our restaurant is renewable wind energy.
-All of our mozzarella cheese comes from cows not treated with rBGH growth hormones.
-We have incoporated a number of organic items into the menu.
-We have the Second Harvest Heartland pizza, where $1 is donated to this hunger relief organization every time the pizza is ordered.
-We strive to use packaging that is either made from recycled materials, or is 100% biodegradable.
-We incorporate hemp products into each menu category, and print our menu on hemp paper. Hemp is not only good for you, it is also very good for the Earth.
-In season, we try to purchase all of our produce from farms here in Minnesota or in nearby Wisconsin.
-We have an in depth waste reduction program utilizing pig farms for food waste and recycling whenever possible.
5% of our after tax profits are donated to charity. Just take a moment and imagine what the world could be like if every restaruant, store, corporation, etc., were run this way. It would be beautiful, and we will have taken one giant step towards fulfilling Galactic Pizza's Vision of a sustainable and harmonious Earth. Thank you so much for being a valued customer and supporting our dream."
But wait, there's more, they actually make the routine of ordering pizza fun. Your pizza is delivered via electric vehicle and the delivery person is dressed up as a superhero with such names as Captain Awesome, Captain Organic, Flying Squirrel, General Statement, Italian Scallion, Merman, Pink Thunder, and Weather Man with costumes made by a local seamstress.
