Ever held a menu made up of 10 to 30% post con­sumer waste? If you’ve eaten at Ruby Tuesday’s lately then there’s a good chance you have.

The Maryville-based restau­rant chain is putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to going green. AGreenRuby.com maps all of the new Earth friendly ini­tia­tives Ruby Tues­day is under­tak­ing. The Knox­ify crew sure would love a cof­fee mug with an eco­log­i­cal mes­sage on it. Wink-wink, nod-nod.

Purely Enter­prises, another Knoxville-based com­pany, is also tak­ing green to new heights. They have devel­oped a Purely Anion light bulb that claims to remove pos­i­tive ions from your home or office. Sound crazy? Watch the video below for a demonstration.

If you know of other local com­pa­nies chang­ing the green mar­ket­place with inno­v­a­tive prod­ucts or ideas send us a tip to tips@knoxify.com.
