There’s a new guide book of the Big Apple hitting the stands today. It’s useful, it’s Earth-friendly, and printed on a recycled paper with soy-based ink. Greenopia, cause that’s what it’s called, is a “Zagat for the eco-conscious set”, reports Metro.
Researchers had found nearly 1,600 businesses from salons to shoe stores that were worthy of their green leaf rating system. We’re happy to say that the company lives up to what it preaches: they hired rickshaws to deliver 1,300 books to stores. Revolution Rickshaws, a bicycle cargo delivery company, that helped them with deliveries, is also featured in the guide. “We don’t just cover the organic restaurants and food co-ops. It’s all the things you spend your money on. There’s an alternative for almost anything we do.” – said Ferris Kawar, Greenopia’s VP of sustainability.
If we had any award system here at see-nyc, we’d give the highest prize to Greenopia. I lieu of that we praise them and give them six thumbs up (two from each of us). And we’re buying the book asap of course.
