Earth Friendly Eats
Posted by melissamccart on April 22, 2008
With more food-focused businesses going green, environment-friendly eating and drinking isn’t as difficult as it was even a year ago. Some suggestions for today–
1) Switch to milk delivery. Drink fresh, hormone free milk from recycled glass bottles once, and you’ll never go back to store bought.
2) Eat at environmentally conscious Chix DC– which now delivers for lunch.
3) Support local farmers on market days.
4) Book a reservation for Vermilion’s Farm to Fork Dinner tonight.
5) Whether it’s Grape and Bean, which composts grounds or the sustainable agriculture of Counter Culture Coffee, buy a cup that’s eco-friendly.
Where else are you embracing Earth Day?

Great suggestions! Although I’d add that switching to, or at least incorporating, healthier soy or rice milk would be even better than drinking regular dairy milk as most cows emit between 100 and 200 liters of methane a day, and as methane is twenty-one times more powerful a greenhouse gas than carbon, it’s a better environmental choice.
