GREEN
SAGE COFFEE HOUSE & CAFÉ – Asheville,
NC
Green Sage features a full-service
coffee and espresso bar, a scratch kitchen and bakery. They use
locally grown and organic, ecologically-produced ingredients.
Serious in their mission of sustainability, "green" building
features include: solar panels on the roof for hot water (the
first downtown), reclaimed wood for the bars, locally-fabricated
concrete countertops with industrial scrap iron supports, non-toxic
locally-manufactured paints, signage from recycled aluminum,
and a waterless urinal. Lounge chairs are made of organic cotton.
The restaurant's Recycling Center features a composting bin in
addition to the standard recycling options. Their take-out cups
and containers are compostable. Wi-fi is available and evening
events include local performers and regional eco non-profit presentations.
