Single serve coffee makers -- like the Keurig brand of machines -- are popular for their convenience to make just one cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. But the plastic pods are an environmental nightmare; they're nearly impossible to recycle, so millions of pods and discs are landfilled. Here’s the good news: There are coffee manufacturers who have “greened” single-serve pods. You can find coffee and tea pods that are made with organic ingredients and packaged in nearly 100 percent biodegradable packaging. Just search online at sites like Amazon.com to find them.
