Greenopia publishes extensive green business directories, product directories, and brand directories, as well as offering a growing community, news articles, blogs, and tips to help everyone eat, shop, and live green.
Greenopia's directories guide consumers to the businesses and products to help lead a more sustainable lifestyle. All listings are independently researched, rated, and ranked using unique sets of life cycle based and category-specific criteria, ensuring that each business and product meets precise qualifications. We never accept payment for listings.
The Greenopia Leaf Award allows consumers to easily assess the overall greenness of a business or product. Four-Leaf Rated listings meet our most stringent criteria while One-Leaf Rated listings meet our minimum qualifying standards. The Greenopia Scorecard allows consumers to easily see the specific areas of greenness in the product’s or brand’s life cycle.
Greenopia's community provides a place for people to engage in sharing their favorite listings, meeting other people, sharing their eco-interests, blogging, discussing green topics, and much more. Our newsletters provide an opportunity to stay up to date with compelling articles, press releases, exclusive opportunities, and the newest, hottest, and greenest listings.

Alaska Airlines Average Fleet Age: 6 Greenopia Environment Achievement:

|
Efforts: Alaska Airlines has been making strides in the environmental realm for the past several years and has several initiatives that are very impressive. Alaska Airlines has one of the younger fleets with an average fleet age of around 6 years. It also uses some of the more efficient plane models presently available. Alaska Airlines has retrofitted its planes with winglets and practices several fuel saving techniques such as single engine taxiing, Required Navigation Performance, and Continuous Decent Approach which help minimize the plane’s overall impact. Alaska Airlines has about 2/3 of its ground vehicles running on electric motors and is incorporating alternative fuels into these vehicles as well. Alaska Airlines recycles on its flights and has one of the more comprehensive recycling programs in the industry as a whole. Alaska Airlines incorporates some elements of green building design in its offices and has well above average environmental reporting. Issues: We were unable to find any information that suggests that Alaska Airlines is looking at alternative fuels as of this time. Also, Alaska Airlines does not offer any sort of offsets for its passengers during the ticketing process. We would like to see users given the option to offset their travel footprint through a quality service. Greenopia Verdict: Alaska Airlines offers a variety of green initiatives that places it amongst the greenest airlines on our analysis. |
