Green Notes
Green Eats: Maria's Gourmet Catering
Maria Fangman has taken steps over the past couple years to add some eco-conscious options to her 12-year-old catering and to-go store located in Lawndale Shopping Center in Greensboro.
Fangman started selling Fair Trade certified chocolate, tea and coffee at Maria's Gourmet Catering about one-and-a-half years ago, she said, and reusable hot/cold takeout bags about a month ago. The business sells organic wines, prepares meals with local and organic ingredients. Fangman also offers biodegradable packaging for sandwich box lunches and salads, saves waste vegetable oil for biodiesel generation and composts food scraps at her home.
