I'm taking a break from recipes and restaurant reviews today to share with you a very smart idea that somebody in the world is cursing themselves for not copywriting before. The world's first pizza "GreenBox" was introduced last month to diners at V&T Pizza in Manhattan, where the cardboard box can be ripped apart to make plates and a storage box for leftovers. Just think of the billions of pizza boxes per year that are wasted, along with the paper plates we normally eat the pie off of! Now there's a use for all that cardboard, and the GreenBox is made with 100% recycled paper.
42-year-old William Walsh is the mastermind behind this eco-friendly invention, and although he currently stores his GreenBoxes in a warehouse in Staten Island, N.Y., he's hoping to hit it big with a national chain. My question is, why aren't the national chains lining up for this guy? In the midst of a recession, where being "green" is the "cool" thing, and pizza will always be popular, Walsh has quite the brilliant invention on his hands. I'm ready to start using the GreenBoxes. Are you?
What a great idea, more people should be using that!
