Yeah.. so I'm in Love with this place. Habana Outpost, a fun, modern, eco-eatery in Brooklyn New York was built on the principles of great food, great fun, and social responsibility. Their mission is to show respect for the community, the environment, and the arts in a setting that is always fun and accessible.
Habana Outpost is NYC's first eco-eatery. Eco-eateries are restaurants which use earth-friendly practices in their design, construction and day to day operations.
Habana Works Inc. is a nonprofit organization that aims to better the community through free programs that educate, unite and engage local members. Habana Works' programs demonstrate the impact of environmentally conscious thought and action within a community. These programs use art, architecture, videography, and design as tools to engage and instill a greater understanding of the community's role in the betterment of the planet.
Habana Outpost uses Solar Panels to convert the sun's energy into the electricty to power the restaurant.
They also use have a Rainwater Collection System which collects water from the roof of the restaurant which sanitizes, filters and stores water. It also is used to water all the plants in the garden and flush toilets.
They even have a Human powered Bike Blender which uses pedaling instead of electricity and Solar-powered cell phone and laptop charges so that customers can recharge while they eat. All in all this is a pretty awesome place and I definitely suggest making a trip here if you ever find yourself in BK.. as I have been finding myself quite a bit lately.
