We are all about saving trees, but if you’d like to spread the good-n-green word by posting an Ideal Bite tip in a public place, we encourage you do so on recycled paper. Thanks and Happy Biting!

If 10,000 SF Biters use compostable utensils instead of conventional disposables, in a year we'll keep almost 1.5 mil disposable knives, forks, spoons, and sporks outta landfills.

Rapper MC Hammer was a batboy for the A's for eight years.

Bases Covered

The Bite:

Wanna watch baseball that covers as much green as the outfielders? Steal away for a day with either of our Bay Area teams. The SF Giants use 600 solar panels to power AT&T Park and feed back to the grid when the stadium's use is low. Plus, its hi-def, LED scoreboard is sharper than the old one and uses 78% less energy. The Oakland A's tie it up, as their home - McAfee Coliseum - serves up its nachos and drinks in biodegradable cups, utensils, and containers, and sorts everything (food scraps too) for composting - making those $7 beers go down much easier. Let's hope both teams keep their on-field bases covered, too...

Wanna Try?

San Francisco Giants; Apr. 7 vs. San Diego Padres, 1:05 p.m.; AT&T Park, 24 Willie Mays Plaza, at Third and King Sts. (415-972-2000). Tickets, $10-$120.

Oakland Athletics; Apr. 4 vs. Cleveland Indians, 7:05 p.m.; McAfee Coliseum, 7000 Coliseum Way, Oakland (510-638-4900). Tickets, $9-$55.
