Notice I didn’t say “eat your greens,” although you can do that too, at any of the “certified” restaurants listed by the Green Restaurant Association. Certified restaurants have met the Association’s standards by:

• Using a comprehensive recycling system for all products that are accepted by local recycling companies
• Eliminating polystyrene foam (Styrofoam) products
• Committing to completion of four “Environmental Steps” each year of membership

Check out this article in the New York Times for more about eating green, and then check out these two certified local eateries:

• Amici’s Pizza, Berkley, MI
• The Draft House, Lansing, MI
