Ever wondered if your favourite restaurants are doing their bit for the environment? Until now, many of them were commiting every sin under the sun, but a new breed of eateries like Acorn House in London and Carpe Diem in Bristol are blazing a trail in sustainable eating that's now generated enough buzz to form a new network of its own.
