This St. Patrick’s Day, going green will mean more than green beer and green hats at Boylan Heights, the burger bar restaurant on the Corner, as the owners are offering a $100 gift certificate for the best environmentally friendly idea the restaurant can implement.

“Basically, instead of wearing a green shirt and not remembering it the next day,” says co-owner J.R. Hadley, “were hoping to inspire people to go green on St. Patty’s Day, permanently.”

Of course, this could be a challenge, as the restaurant already uses grass fed organic meats, recycles their bottles and plastics, uses non-toxic cleaning supplies, energy-efficient light bulbs, chlorine free paper products, and contracts with GreenerOil, a company that collects restaurant grease and oil for making fuel.

“But the great thing about being in an educated University community is someone will always have creative input beyond anything we may have considered,” says Hadley.

You can enter the contest by emailing your idea to . One entry will be selected as the $100 winner and also five other entrants will be drawn at random for $20 gift certificates.
