DC Small Business Owners Go Green

An article in last Wednesday's New York Times chronicles the shift of many small businesses in Washington, DC to green power.

Reporter Shawn G. Kennedy says that nationally, most companies to switch to wind power "have been large electric power customers like universities, hospitals, hotels, government agencies or owners of large office buildings." So the nine "small, independent and mostly food-related businesses on or near U Street" in DC are fairly unusual in that respect.

The businesses in the "wind power consortium" include Ben's Chili Bowl, Boundless Yoga, CakeLove, Love Café, Rumberos restaurant, Coppi's Organic restaurant, Busboys and Poets, Luna Grill & Diner, and the Diner and Tryst, a coffee shop and restaurant.
