Dos Coyotes Border Café took steps to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at two locations in Davis, making Dos Coyotes an even more popular place to eat.

Davis owner Bobby Coyote decided to help the environment by changing the way he runs his businesses. Like many small businesses, Dos Coyotes replaced old equipment with newer, more energy efficient appliances. These new appliances save both money and energy.
