“The greater goal is to create as much impact as possible in terms of education and climate. We're not just telling people what to do, we're showing them what to do, and what can be achieved if we all do it together.” -Peggy Chan 

 

 “People want to know where their food comes from. Slowing down the service helped in that aspect.” -Joel Tomas
