Sustainability

The team at The Doral Yard aims to create this magical space as a model of sustainability with the mission of raising awareness through education, programming, and daily actions. We strive to influence and inspire the Doral community in reducing single-use plastic and waste, conserving resources, recycling and upcycling, and making earth-friendly decisions in everyday life.

At an operational level, we promise to uphold the highest standards in regards to these missions, in “front of the house” and behind-the-scenes, and we will take into consideration how our daily operations impact the environment.

Materials used for packaging, ingredient sources and selection, and conservative use of water and energy will all be managed closely. Our facility does not permit materials or items that are harmful to the environment, such as straws, styrofoam, balloons, and the like.

We foster a culture of awareness, authentic concern, and accountability, ensuring that all team members from top to bottom are armed with the training and tools to successfully reach our goals.

As a community space, The Doral Yard involves our guests and visitors in our sustainability efforts, ensuring that what we do is shared and explained in a transparent way. The Doral Yard enlists our community as active participants in this mission to think, live, and act in a more eco-conscious way.  We hope that YOU, our local community, is excited to support a local business with a mind for local and global impact.

By simply being a customer, you are supporting a green business and a healthier planet.
