Interesting read from the NYtimes about those single use coffee pods and there eco-friendlyness. Interestingly, they are trying to make these things bio-degradable and some of them have recycling programs. I'm a bit skeptical of the recycling programs though.
We have these individual pod coffee things in my office (although I am unsure which brand, will need to check it out), and while I do love having fresh hot coffee, it does make you stop and think. Maybe I should mention it to someone that we should switch over to a coffee company like Green Mountain that is going to make biodegradable them more eco-friendly. Right now ours is just thrown in the trash, but I think we have a brand with a recycling program. Don't think we will be doing that though.
