NEWS OF MAXIE"S CONTINUING COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT:

Maxie's is proud to announce our involvement in an exciting new method of environmental conservation: Filtered fryer oil as a gas alternative. Headed by the fine folks at Liquid Solar, this process involves using finely filtered, used fryer oil to power diesel engines as a fuel alternative. The Liquid Solar crew comes to pick up our used fryer oil from large plastic barrels (Maxie's changes our fryer oil everyday, so there is a steady supply!) and filters it into a holding tank, which can then either be directly pumped into the vehicle, or saved to pump into a different one. This process is still in its early stages of development and Maxie's is very pleased to be involved in such a worthy contribution to conserving our Earth's precious and limited fuel resources.

To find out more about Liquid Solar (and we strongly suggest you do!) check out their website at www.liquidsolar.org.

We are also happy to report the renewal of our composting program. Currently, two private farms come to the restaurant 5 times a week to pick up our pre-consimer compostable material, and also all of our oyster shells. These materials can then be converted by the farmers into excellent, nutrient-and-mineral rich fertilizer that will help their crop to grow into wonderful organic produce that you may find on your plate at Maxie's the following season!
