A review by Woody Pines

During my visit to Asheville, NC, I couldn't help but notice this awesome new coffeehouse and cafe in downtown Asheville. It is The Green Sage and just opened up at the beginning of March. It is on the corner of Broadway and College Street. It is owned by Al Kirshner and Randy Talley which offers a breakfast and lunch menu and features fair-trade, organic teas, coffees and even chocolate syrup.

To make the The Green Sage even more spectacular, they offer a recycling center to sort your garbage and encourage the patrons to bring their own mugs. When I first saw this building, I saw the beautiful solar panels on the roof. They use these panels to heat their water. They are even working on lineup for local music!

This awesome new coffee shop is trying to set a new example in environmentally friendly businesses while trying to educate the public. I cannot commend this coffeehouse enough for their practices to help the environment. This is what we need to start seeing everywhere! I really wish they had one of these in my town!
