Eat your greens.

The Green Restaurant Association can help you eat out more environmentally with their Certified Green Restaurant Guide. Certification means that the restaurants meet the following standards:
  1. Use a comprehensive recycling system for all products that are accepted by local recycling companies.
  2. Free of polystyrene foam ("Styrofoam") products.
  3. Commit to completing four Environmental Steps per year of membership.
  4. Complete at least one Environmental Step after joining the GRA.

The guide is new so only a few places are listed so far (in fact only one restaurant in my home state of VA is even included) but hopefully it will continue to grow.
