Burlap chic
All of those premium coffee beans arrive at Pierce Brothers Coffee
Roasters in sturdy burlap bags which brothers Sean and Darren recycle in
many different ways. "We turn them into reusable supermarket bags because
they've got great logos on them and they're durable as all get out," says
Darren Pierce. "We have fishermen that use them, we've got farmers that use
them. We donate them to nurseries because they can wrap plant roots with them,
and we give them away online to people who want burlap bags. So they never
go into the landfill."

It's clearly green
Those clear plasic containers for Bart's tasty salads are as 'green' as the lettuce
inside, says Alan Sax, owner of Bart's Cafe. "They are made out of a corn-based
resin that breaks down when it get into the landfill. So our containers make it
easy for customers to see our delicious salads, as well as being kind to the earth."
