I just spotted this eco restaurant and thought I'd share. Sounds like they have a good plan for promoting their green business practices:

(From the website)

Water
* We monitor our water use and try to minimise where possible.
* We purify our water on site to minimise, road miles, plastic and glass use.

Electricity
* We try to use 'Green electricity' where possible.
* We monitor our energy use and try to minimise where possible.
* The restaurant has been built to maximise natural light.

Suppliers
* We buy from small independent suppliers.
* We buy seasonal produce.
* We buy fair trade where possible.
* We buy locally.
* We never use air freight.
* We have a strict fish purchasing policy.
* We identify our meat suppliers and demand positive animal husbandry.
* We support farmers markets.
* We buy organic food.
* The restaurant identifies its meat suppliers and demands positive animal husbandry.

Worth a read, maybe even a visit :)
