Eco-friendly solutions are not always high-tech. Some are even low-tech, such as brewing coffee. The Java Shack in Arlington, Virginia has been designated "green" by the state's Department of Environmental Quality. Posted at the Java Shack is a list of more than a dozen "green" accomplishments. The coffee shop uses 100% recyclable products, and saves all the coffee grounds for recycling and composting. The Java Shack does not print receipts; it encourages the use of travel mugs or ceramic cups rather than disposable cups.
