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: The University of California – Santa Barbara (UCSB) was another one of our top performers. UCSB has great reporting and its ACUPCC climate numbers were very impressive. UCSB has 6 LEED buildings with another 20 or so on the way. UCSB also mandates that all new construction must be at least LEED Silver. UCSB has a staggeringly good recycling rate of 62% and is aiming to be zero waste by 2020. UCSB composts pre-consumer food waste as well. UCSB utilizes some solar energy and has several local and organic food options as well. The campus accommodates 89 alternative fuel vehicles and UCSB has some of the better water conservation measures we came across in our study. Held After Class: We would like to see a little bit more green food options and some additional green power. Given the climate of the area, UCSB has a huge advantage over many other schools. Green Grade: UCSB, with a small carbon footprint and great policies, easily cracks the top couple on our list. |
