10. Van Gogh is Bipolar
Address: 154 H Maginhawa St., Sikatuna Village, Quezon City. (394-0188, 0922-8243051)

Serving "happy-hormone" inducing food, the intriguing spot called Van Gogh is Bipolar in Quezon City mixes living art space with food. A private refuge more than a restaurant, owner and travel photographer Jetro Rafael, serves vegetarian items, and organic meat with mountain rice such as the Pres. Clinton's MealVan Gogh Rice (P555), which is served with premium Australian lamb and the Godfather 3 (P255), mountain rice topped with vegan's delight.

Serving only natural food to keep healthy hormone levels, Rafael says, "All the food items, even the drinks, on the menu are designed to alter your mood."

    I agree with Marco. A laminated paper cup for drinking 2-3 ounces of water is definitely not eco-friendly. More like Eco-Deadly. THEY CANT BE RECYCLED. Just like magazine paper. And the lighting, Ugh. Bad for the eye. Using CFL for bulbs doesn't make you eco friendly instantly, multiply that with the bunch of low voltage lamps all around sums up the carbon emissions your electricity has emitted.

    I salute Starbucks for buying coffee from Fair Trade coffee growers. HOWEVER, Satrbucks has a lot of improving to do in terms of its operations. I agree with Marco about the water, plastic containers, wrappers, imported furniture, and wares.rnrnIt's eco friendly when it is locally sourced.rnrnSPOT, you should have included ILOG MARIA here.

    Nice to see a list of eco-friendly stores! Hopefully there will be more and more eco-friendly establishments to come. :)

    SPOT! You are not serious are you??? Starbucks!!

    1. They run fresh water ALL DAY to keep spoons clean.
    2. Regardless of their PR claim above, find me a store that doesn't dish out tons of napkins for no reason.
    3. Plastic, plastic everywhere. How many customers, how many plastic cups + straws even if you are sitting in?
    4. Imported furniture and wares (nothing local).
    5. Unhealthy, super wrapped up foods.

    We could be here all. Whoever wrote this, researched it and published this should be ashamed. Seriously.

    Do NOT buy anything from Kielh's. Their products contain paraben, which is carcinogenic/ cancerous. http://moderneco.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/experimental/
