If you’re like me, you’ve gotten pretty sensitive to the mountains of styrofoam packaging that’s involved in a lot of take-out or pre-packaged food. So I’ve started to look for restaurants and delis that are trying to “go green,” using paper or other, less permanent ways to package their food and drinks. Last night at Soul Fish, one of my favorite spots in Cooper-Young, I noticed that they’ve dumped their foam cups (length of time they take to degrade: forever) in favor of something called Greenware, which sounds a little less, um, permanent, and seems to work just as well as foam did.

Where have you noticed a serious commitment to using more “green” stuff, and to making less trash? Let’s see if we can compile a list of environmentally sensitive restaurants, delis and coffee shops. Then let’s push to get the rest to come along with us.
