Of course it would be UCBerkeley that yesterday opened the first certified organic cafeteria in America. "This is huge, and it's certainly the mark of the beginning of a trend in food service toward organic," said Jake Lewin, director of marketing and international programs at CCOF, the Santa Cruz-based organization that issued the landmark organic certification. Not only are they organic, they are TreeHugger friendly in other ways:" Natural lighting and energy-efficient fixtures cut electricity consumption. Low-flow water faucets conserve water. Tables are cleaned with cloth instead of paper. Excess food is donated to a local homeless shelter, and food scraps are picked up by a local company to be turned into garden compost." ::UCBerkeleyNews
