DISQUS

KP · 8 months ago

"In addition to combining two healthy treats under one roof, Sweetgreen sets itself apart by using biodegradable and compostable utensils and packaging. The company is certified “green” by the Green Restaurant Association and runs off of 100% wind energy."

FINALLY!!! A "green" restaurant gets it! So many supposedly green food places have just stacks of plastic utensils and take out stuff, INCLUDING Java Green. But this one sounds like the real deal.

"The utensils at Java Green are all either reusable or biodegradble and the shop is run on wind power." I don't think so. At the one downtown, they had plastic utensils. Now, does that qualify as "reusable?"

The real solution to all of this will inevitably involve more labor: chinaware and silverware.

I think Java Cafe went all biodegradable earlier this year, maybe their stores in Boston if I"m not mistaken...
