Okay, Jesse's right and NYC should definately lose points for dumping our shit, literally, on poor folks in other parts of the country. But lots of people here actually do give a fig for the environment. The New York Times just ran this story about Habana Outpost, an eco-friendly cafe in Fort Greene, Brooklyn featuring "an awning made of solar panels, cups made of a biodegradable corn-based plastic, plates made of sugar cane fiber and tables made from recycled soda bottles". But the piece de la resistance was a bicycle-powered blender - guests could mix up their own drinks using only pedal power!
The only problem? Someone stole the bicycle.
What do you want? This is Brooklyn, for Chrissakes.
