Subway Upping its Sustainability Efforts

Quick service chain Subway announced that it will make LED lighting the standard for both its new locations and remodeled restaurants. The effort is impressive—in 2014 alone the upgrade (with only a small number of stores participating at the time) conserved enough energy to power close to 2,000 households for a year.
