Greenopia provides consumers with high quality information to help them reduce their impact on the environment through their daily purchasing decisions. 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.

Honor Roll: University of Washington (UW) has some of the best environmental reporting we came across in our study. Metrics are easy to find and all the information you would want to see is easily accessible. UW has 4 LEED buildings, with over a dozen more on the way, and has mandated that its new construction meet LEED standards. UW diverts about 40% of its waste, putting it towards the top of the list for landfill diversion and the school has a comprehensive composting program to boot. UW has a relatively green energy grid mix and it also offsets 15% of its carbon footprint. Around a quarter of its food is organic, local, or fair trade, and the campus sports over 300 alternative fuel vehicles (also placing it at the very top of its class). UW also has aggressive water conservation policies in place in both its facilities and its landscaping. UW also had some great climate numbers per student and per 1000 sq feet as reported by the ACUPCC. Held After Class: We felt some of UW’s water conservation measures could be a little more stringent (such as runoff planning), but there is really not too much to be picky of here. Green Grade: The University of Washington is our valedictorian when it comes to greenest Universities in the U.S. |
