Taranta was invited to attend the Green Careers Forum at Brandeis University. Christopher Titus, Taranta’s manager was part of the forum that consisted of four expert panel speakers who all are involved in sustainability or green energy initiatives. The panel included a scientist working with the EPA, a former student working on federal programs to promote sustainability, a director of a non-profit and a CEO of a Green Energy development firm. Students listened to brief talks about the current path of Sustainability and green careers. After the panel presenters finished students were invited to sit down with representatives from Green Industry for a question and answer session. Taranta was the only restaurant that was represented. Students were especially interested how in how a small business like Taranta could go Green on their own and how we fit in with the myriad of other industries represented.
