Practices that produce a negative impact on the environment span all across society. However, the industry with one of the largest effects on our environment is the food industry. Taking this into account, our group set out to create a report on one of Westwood's favorite eating establishments: Fat Sal's Deli. The meat industry has a massive impact upon the environment and it is no secret that Fat Sal's is famous for their meat-heavy sandwiches. One of our projects main focuses was introducing a vegetarian sandwich. Not only would this expand Fat Sal’s customer base to those with vegetarian lifestyles, but the veggie sandwiches would be cheaper to produce. Ingredients would be used from other menu items, thus limiting costs and hopefully luring some customers away from meat filled sandwiches. Another task was to address the use of plastics and disposable materials. The goal would be to introduce reusable cups, compostable utensils and recycling bins. This would cut down Fat Sal's waste disposal costs while helping preserve the environment. One of the major ramifications of these changes would be improving Fat Sal's public image – especially in the relatively environmentally friendly, college-town of Westwood.
