RESTAURANTS ON THE RUN Changes to SuperDegradable™ Cutlery

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2009 – Aliso Viejo, California - In alignment with their commitment to the environment, the restaurant delivery service, Restaurants on the Run now offers new Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ plastic cutlery with all deliveries.
Restaurants on the Run has announced their system wide launch of Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ Cutlery and Servingware… The first, biodegradable, single use plastic cutlery product line in America.
Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery, looks, performs and feels like high quality plastic cutlery and easily withstands severe heat tests.  Doing the right thing for the environment has never been easier.
Because, over 98% of all single use food service cutlery ends up in the garbage, and ultimately a landfill due to “end of life” management constraints, Transitions2earth™ SuperDegradable™ cutlery is a very real and long term solution for the millions of pieces of single use cutlery used every day.  With a very limited number of commercial composting facilities (about 135) operating throughout  the country, It will be many years before composting will become a viable option for the disposal of single use cutlery and other disposable food containers.
Transitions2earth™, in partnership with EcoPure™ has introduced an additive, that when utilized allows microbial activity to break down the molecular structure of polypropylene, polystyrene, and polyethylene at levels of up to 100 times faster than without the additive.

The biodegradation process begins when the plastic enters into a landfill.  Microbes colonize on the outer surface or the plastic, and begin to digest it… starting the breakdown process.  Since our product works via microbes, it is distinct from other technologies which use heat, moisture, mechanical methods or UV.
Restaurant on the Run (www.rotr.com) is committed to the environment, and this product is just another way the company has significantly reduced the impact of single use cutlery on the environment.
Restaurants on the Run, an industry leader in restaurant delivery services, based in Aliso Viejo, California, provides corporate food delivery services, and marketing for more than 950 restaurants throughout California, Washington and Nevada.  For more information, visit www.rotr.com.
Transitions2earth™ located in Seattle, Washington manufactures and distributes high quality SuperDegradable™ products throughout the United States.  For more information, visit www.transitions2earth.com

High Five for Five Fifty Five

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2009 – Diningverse would like to give a high five together with a $55 dining gift certificate to a Diningverse patron who posts the 555th recommendation. Simply go to diningverse.com and leave your recommendation for a restaurant you have visited and liked. The 555 recommendations will be the first and, therefore, the most significant Diningverse milestone yet. The winning patron will select any restaurant listed on diningverse.com and we will send our high five together with a $55 dining gift certificate for this restaurant.
Diningverse is still very young but already is significantly embraced by both patrons and independent restaurant owners in a growing number of local areas. The "High Five for Five Fifty Five" is our first public competition also a way of saying thanks to our fantastic community of registered Diningverse patrons.
"Without the warm embrace by our Diningverse patrons and their support of local, independently owned restaurants through their recommendations, diningverse would be yet another mediocre restaurant directory," said Chris Starr, a business partner at Diverse Ventures, LLC, the parent company of Diningverse. "Diningverse is so much more than just a list of independently owned restaurants. It allows local restaurants to maintain full profiles with menus, specials, photos and more to market the restaurants' food and services on Diningverse and on the Internet," Chris Starr added.
Diningverse decided to reward one of our patrons for taking the time and posting his/her recommendation by giving away a $55 dining gift certificate. Also, this dining certificate will be for one of the restaurants currently listed on diningverse.com, which in turn helps to promote the great food and service of the restaurant.
Last week Diningverse added integration with Facebook which allows Diningverse patrons, who also have a Facebook account, to automatically post their restaurant recommendations on their Facebook Wall. "We hope that the recent addition of Facebook Connect integration on Diningverse will help us accelerate our growth. We have a ton of new useful functionality planned that we will be adding to diningverse.com over time," noted Chris Starr as her final remark.

Hotel Booking Tips From Travel Chacha

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 20, 2009 – Comparison-shop online. Many hotels offer discounts for online transactions. Sites such as travelchacha.com, HotelDiscounts.com, Hotels.com.  Travels.com and Expedia.com have arrangements with thousands of hotels. Name your own price on Priceline.com if your trip dates are set in stone--it offers no refunds.
Buy a travel guide to your destination, especially if you're not familiar with the area. Read up on lodging options and neighborhoods where accommodations are plentiful.
Plan your arrival and departure dates. If possible, choose off-season dates when you may be able to save money on lodging.
Ask whether there are special rates or if a membership (AAA, frequent flier) entitles you to a further discount. Sometimes discounts are available for military or government employees, or even for just using a certain credit card. Those are the kind of deals agents won't normally tell you about.
Choose the neighborhood you want to stay in. This generally depends on where you will be doing business or on the recreational or cultural sights you want to see.
Beware of hidden costs. Taxes, surcharges, resort and other incidental fees tacked onto your bill are common and rarely mentioned until you check out. Ask if there are any extra charges on the agreed room rate before you book your reservation: If they are tacked on without your prior approval, refuse to pay.
Reserve the room with your credit card. This will generally hold the room for you no matter what time you arrive.
