Sunflower Seed Walls
Now when you grab a yogurt at Oko frozen yogurt in Park Slope, Brooklyn you can feel good about supporting a business that has integrated solar panels and sunflower seed walls into the design of their shop. The New York Times reported yesterday that along with considering the menu and wine list, new restaurateurs are also considering the environment in their launch. "Some do it to save money and others to tap into a popular trend, but many do it because they believe in it," said the Times.

What a great, delicious idea! Restaurant Nora and Java Green are both restaurants in Washington, DC that aim for sustainability, even eco-education, while producing tasty food.

In Baltimore, Spoons on Cross St. is a certified green restaurant. One World Cafe near Johns Hopkins serves vegetarian/vegan cuisine, and the Yabba Pot is also vegetarian/vegan (I think).
