If 10,000 Denver Biters buy a recycled goblet instead of one made from new glass, we'll avert the CO2 created from 6 round-trip drives from Denver to Napa.

It takes 600 grapes to produce one bottle of wine.

The Bite

Crushin' your cranium for thoughtful gifts? New policy: Skip the "Hang in there" cat posters. Instead, check out All Things Renewable for eco-friendly ideas galore, including messenger bags made from recycled billboards, electric scooters (OK, that'd be for you), bamboo bowls, and organic baby clothes. We picked up a set of sleek, cobalt-blue goblets made from discarded wine bottles, then poured some vino (product testing is so hard) and drank to using recycled glass, which avoids the CO2 emissions that come from heating and compressing new glass. Visit the shop - based in LEED-certified Northfield at Stapleton - through Nov. 15 and get 15% off all things made in CO, or take a workshop on eco-fying your beauty products. Genius.
