A new food movement in California is attempting to reduce carbon footprints in restaurants and make meals more climate friendly by tacking on a surcharge to fund a pilot called Restore California.

"This is saying if every restaurant in the Bay Area … if they could put a one percent surcharge that goes toward regenerative soil, which is caring about making the soil better for future generations, that’s even better than organic, that’s what matters now, so this Restore California 1 percent surcharge, fancy restaurants are going along with it, they’re getting with the program." Kummer said the fine dining restaurants are serving dishes like beef tartare sourced with meat from a ranch affiliated with a program to help fields absorb more carbon, local lavender, and toast created from Kernza, a "perennial grain with deep roots that helps restore prairie land."
